In familiar design domains, expert designers are able to quickly focus on “good designs”, based on constraints they have learned while exploring the design space. This ability ...
We introduce the class of Rigid Tree Automata (RTA), an extension of standard bottom-up automata on ranked trees with distinguished states called rigid. Rigid states define a res...
—We study the scalable video broadcasting problem in mobile TV broadcast networks, where each TV channel is encoded into a scalable video stream with multiple layers, and several...
