In this paper, we propose the Hybrid-Layer Index (simply, the HL-index) that is designed to answer top-k queries efficiently when the queries are expressed on any arbitrary subset ...
Federated transaction management (also known as multidatabase transaction management in the literature) is needed to ensure the consistency of data that is distributed across mult...
The use of computer algebra is usually considered beneficial for mechanised reasoning in mathematical domains. We present a case study, in the application domain of coding theory, ...
Eliciting user-task models is a thorny problem in modelbased user interface design, and communicating domainspecific knowledge from an expert to a knowledge engineer is a continui...
The modal mu-calculus is an expressive logic that can be used to specify safety and liveness properties of concurrent systems represented as labeled transition systems (LTSs). We ...
