We characterize the dynamic data management problem for location based services(LBS) in mobile environments and devise a cost model for servicing both location independent and loc...
: The “Grid” is an emerging infrastructure for coordinating access across autonomous organizations to distributed, heterogeneous computation and data resources. Data grids are ...
We introduce a cost model for the M-tree access method [Ciaccia et al., 1997] which provides estimates of CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for the execution of similarity ...
The current main memory (DRAM) access speeds lag far behind CPU speeds. Cache memory, made of static RAM, is being used in today's architectures to bridge this gap. It provid...
This paper presents a portable, efficient method for accessing memory resident persistent objects in virtual memory in the context of the E programming language. Under the approac...
