The location and configuration of transmission infrastructure for cellular communication networks is a complex engineering task involving many competing objectives. While minimis...
— This paper describes a novel, ultra-fast heuristic algorithm to address an NP-hard optimization problem. One of its significances is that, for the first time, the paper shows...
—This paper presents an operational rate-distortion (ORD) optimal approach for skeleton-based boundary encoding. The boundary information is first decomposed into skeleton and di...

Despite continued innovations in design of I/O systems, I/O performance has not kept pace with the progress in processor and communication technology. This paper addresses this I/...
The concept of time-constrained SQL queries was introduced to address the problem of long-running SQL queries. A key approach adopted for supporting time-constrained SQL queries i...
