Main memory accesses continue to be a significant bottleneck for applications whose working sets do not fit in second-level caches. With the trend of greater associativity in seco...
- Performancestudiesof concurrencycontrol algorithms for conventional database systems have shown that, under most operating circumstances, locking protocols outperform optimistic ...
Abstract--The highly dynamic nature of infrastructureless adhoc networks poses new challenges during resource discovery. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for resource di...
Skyline computation has many applications including multi-criteria decision making. In this paper, we study the problem of selecting k skyline points so that the number of points,...
: We analyze a randomized pivoting process involving one line and n points in the plane. The process models the behavior of the RANDOM-EDGE simplex algorithm on simple polytopes wi...
