We study solution sets to systems of generalized linear equations of the form ℓi(x1, x2, · · · , xn) ∈ Ai (mod m) where ℓ1, . . . , ℓt are linear forms in n Boolean var...
Service-based Grid infrastructures emphasize service composition rather than sharing of low level resources. The idea is to build Grid applications out of computational services p...
This paper is about Web services used in distributed, inter-organizational business cooperation (choreography). In this application scenario, we have a multipart functional conven...
An adaptation contract describes composition constraints and adaptation requirements among several services which were not initially built to interoperate with each other. The man...
Automatic tuning has been an elusive goal for database technology for a long time and is becoming a pressing issue for modern E-services. This paper reviews and assesses the advan...
