Most research in algorithms for geometric query problems has focused on their worstcase performance. However, when information on the query distribution is available, the alternat...
Given two rooted, ordered, and labeled trees P and T the tree inclusion problem is to determine if P can be obtained from T by deleting nodes in T. This problem has recently been r...
Our work is based on the pioneering work in sphere separators done by Miller, Teng, Vavasis et al, [8, 12], who gave efficient static (fixed input) algorithms for finding sphere ...
The query optimizer of a database system is confronted with two aspects when handling user-defined functions (UDFs) in query predicates: the vast differences in evaluation costs b...
Instruction scratchpads have been previously suggested as a way to reduce the worst case execution time (WCET) of hard real-time programs without introducing the analysis issues p...
