In a multi-programmed computing environment, threads of execution exhibit different runtime characteristics and hardware resource requirements. Not only do the behaviors of distin...
In the recent years, the Web has been rapidly “deepened” with the prevalence of databases online. On this deep Web, many sources are structured by providing structured query i...
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
Video-on-demand (VoD) systems have traditionally been built on the client-server architecture, where a video server stores, retrieves, and transmits video data to video clients fo...
We understand distributed systems as a collection of distributed computation resources that work together as one harmonious system. It is the great achievement of computer network...
