? An efficient and compact canonical form is proposed for the Boolean matching problem under permutation and complementation of variables. In addition an efficient algorithm for co...
A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
Modern query optimizers select an efficient join ordering for a physical execution plan based essentially on the average join selectivity factors among the referenced tables. In ...
The FlexRay bus is the prospective automotive standard communication system. For the sake of a high flexibility, the protocol includes a static time-triggered and a dynamic event...
