Traditional vector architectures have shown to be very effective for regular codes where the compiler can detect data-level parallelism. However, this SIMD parallelism is also pre...
The paper presents an overview of financial applications of copulas. Copulas permit to represent joint distribution functions by splitting the marginal behavior, embedded in the ma...
Distributed cooperative engineering applications require consistent and long-term sharing of large volumes of data, which may cause conflicts due to concurrent read/write operatio...
How to keep the probability of hand-off drops within a prespecified limit is a very important Quality-of-Service (QoS) issue in cellular networks because mobile users should be abl...
Image databases are nowadays widely exploited in a number of different contexts, ranging from history of art, through medicine, to education. Existing querying paradigms are based ...
