The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
Peer-to-peer computing paradigm is emerging as a scalable and robust model for sharing media objects. In this paper, we propose an architecture and describe the associated algorit...
The framework of this paper is the formal specification and proof of applications distributed on symmetric interconnection networks, e.g. the torus or the hypercube. The algorithms...
An algorithm for scheduling the trajectory of a point object, which moves on a plane surface comprising of moving obstacles, is introduced. Different quantitative criteria may be m...
In this paper we address the physical parallelization of a very efficient genetic algorithm (GA) known as gradual distributed real-coded GA (GD-RCGA). This search model naturally...
