MOTIVATION When two or more genomic maps of a chromosomal region are available, it is useful to be able to synthesize them to create a merged map. RESULTS We show that map merging is an exploratory process because there are multiple ways to combine data based upon what the user wishes to focus on, and upon which particular data subset emphasis is desired. We describe Mapmerge, a program for m...

Map/Reduce is a popular parallel processing framework for data intensive computing. For overlapping the Map task’s execution phase and the Reduce task’s intermediate data fetching and merging phase, existing Map/Reduce schedulers always pre-launch the Reduce task at the specific threshold where its map tasks have been launched, and this pattern incurs the occupation of the consuming resources o...

Modern computing system applications or workloads can bring significant non-uniform temperature gradient on-chip, and hence can cause significant temperature uncertainty during clock-tree synthesis. Existing designs of clock-trees have to assume a given time-invariant worst-case temperature map but cannot deal with a set of temperature maps under a set of workloads. For robust clock-tree synthe...

When multiple robots cooperatively explore an environment, maps from individual robots must be merged to produce a single globally consistent map. This is a challenging problem when the robots do not have a common reference frame or global positioning. In this paper, we describe an algorithm for merging embedded topological maps. Topological maps provide a concise description of the navigabilit...

A variety of physical and biomedical imaging techniques, such as digital holography, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enable measurement of the phase of a physical quantity additionally to its amplitude. However, the phase can commonly only be measured modulo 2π, as a so called wrapped phase map. Phase unwrapping is the process of obtaining t...

In this paper, we propose a multi-strategic matching and merging approach to find correspondences between ontologies based on the syntactic or semantic characteristics and constraints of the Topic Maps. Our multi-strategic matching approach consists of a linguistic module and a Topic Map constraints-based module. A linguistic module computes similarities between concepts using morphological ana...
