The M-tree and its variants have been proved to provide an efficient similarity search in database environments. In order to further improve their performance, in this paper we pro...
It has recently been shown, for the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), that the state associated with a node of the search tree built by a backtracking algorithm can be exploit...
Integration of explanations into a CSP solver is a technique addressing difficult question “why my problem has no solution”. Moreover, explanations together with advanced searc...
We present a novel approach for decomposing contact/impact computations in which the mesh elements come in contact with each other during the course of the simulation. Effective d...
In main-memory databases, the number of processor cache misses has a critical impact on the performance of the system. Cacheconscious indices are designed to improve performance b...
