A design is a finite set of points in a space on which every "simple" functions averages to its global mean. Illustrative examples of simple functions are low-degree pol...
We present some observations on the block triangular form (btf) of structurally symmetric, square, sparse matrices. If the matrix is structurally rank deficient, its canonical btf ...
The preservation of digital objects is a topic of prominent importance for archives and digital libraries. This paper focuses on the problem of preserving the performability of tas...
We describe an automatic verification method to check whether transactional memories ensure strict serializability--a key property assumed of the transactional interface. Our main...
