Genetic algorithms (GAs) have long been used for large join query optimization (LJQO). Previous work takes all queries as based on one granularity to optimize GAs and compares the...

We develop algorithms for computing the smallest enclosing ball of a set of n balls in d-dimensional space. Unlike previous methods, we explicitly address small cases (n ≤ d + 1...
Hierarchical Message Sequence Charts are a well-established formalism to specify telecommunication protocols. In this model, numerous undecidability results were obtained recently ...
