Robust decision support systems (DSSs) for crime investigation are difficult to construct because of the almost infinite variation of plausible crime scenarios. Thus, existing ap...
Adaptive query processing in large distributed systems has seen increasing importance due to the rising environmental fluctuations in a growing Internet. We describe Ginga, an ad...
We investigate runtime strategies for data-intensive applications that involve generalized reductions on large, distributed datasets. Our set of strategies includes replicated fi...
The multi-processor total tardiness problem (MPTTP) is an ÆÈ-hard scheduling problem, in which the goal is to minimise the tardiness of a set of jobs that are processed on a numb...
In this paper, we present a general framework for evaluating the performance characteristics of block cipher structures composed of S-boxes and Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) ma...
