Traditionally, the efficiency and effectiveness of search systems have both been of great
interest to the information retrieval community. However, an in-depth analysis on the …

While a significant number of databases are deployed in cloud environments, pushing part
or all data storage and querying planes closer to their sources (ie, to the edge) can provide …

Many Duplicate Bug Report Detection (DBRD) techniques have been proposed in the
research literature. The industry uses some other techniques. Unfortunately, there is …

This paper addresses performance issues of resource allocation in cloud computing. We
review requirements of different cloud applications and identify the need of considering …

Web search engines often involve a complex pipeline of processing stages including
computing, scoring, and ranking potential answers plus returning the sorted results. The …

The availability of large volumes of interaction data and scalable data mining techniques
have made possible to study the online behaviour for millions of Web users. Part of the …

Dynamic pruning strategies permit efficient retrieval by not fully scoring all postings of the
documents matching a query--without degrading the retrieval effectiveness of the top-ranked …

The emerging trend of decomposing cloud applications into microservices has raised new
questions about managing the performance/power trade-off of a datacenter at …

Locating objects with topology-independent identifiers has emerged as a key functionality in
recent content networking approaches. Numerous designs have been proposed to address …

This paper studies the problem of querying graphs within bounded resources. Given a query
Q, a graph G and a small ratio α, it aims to answer Q in G by accessing only a fraction GQ of …
