Abstract: In order to achieve efficient execution plans for queries comprising userdefined data types and predicates, the database system has to be provided with appropriate index ...
Most of supervised learning algorithms assume the stability of the target concept over time. Nevertheless in many real-user modeling systems, where the data is collected over an ex...
Integrity constraints are an essential part of a modern schema definition language. They are useful for semantic specification, update consistency control, query optimization, inf...
—The paper discusses how Petri nets may be used for the qualitative modeling of physical systems. The qualitative state of a system is represented by the marking of the net. The ...
