A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) every two of which intersect. Quorum systems have been used for many applications in the area of distributed systems, including mu...
In the light of image retrieval evolving from text annotation to content-based and from standalone applications to web-based search engines, we foresee the need for deploying cont...
Abstract. Optimistic execution techniques are widely used in the field of parallel discrete event simulation. In this paper we discuss the use of optimism as a technique for paral...
The purpose of this paper is to present some numerical tools which facilitate the interpretation of simulation or data fitting results and which allow to compute optimal experimen...
Exploiting the full computational power of current hierarchical multiprocessor machines requires a very careful distribution of threads and data among the underlying non-uniform ar...
