This paper introduces an approach to supporting high-dimensional data cubes at interactive query speeds and moderate storage cost. The is based on binary(-domain) that are judiciously partially materialized; the missing information can be quickly reconstructed using statistical or linear programming techniques. enables new applications such as exploratory analysis for feature engineering other ...

Programming parallel machines is notoriously diicult. Factors contributing to this diiculty include the complexity of concurrency, the eeect of resource allocation on performance and the current diversity of parallel machine models. The net result is that eeective portability, which depends crucially on the predictability of performance, has been lost. Functional programming languages have been...

An orthogonally persistent programming language is a type-safe programming language that seamlessly includes a database for long-term object storage. A remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism permits calls of a procedure in another address space, and has proved to be a useful tool for building distributed systems. Taken together, an RPC mechanism and a persistent system are potentially suitable f...

is paper presents a new procedure to solve multiobjective problems, where the objectives are distributed to various working groups and the decision process is centralized. e approach is interactive and considers the preferences of the working groups. It is based on two techniques: an interactive technique that solves multi-objective problems based on goal programming, and a technique called “...
