The principal control-flow abstraction mechanism in the Cobol language is the PERFORM statement. Normally, PERFORM statements are used in a straightforward manner to define para...
As the speed gap between CPU and memory widens, memory hierarchy has become the primary factor limiting program performance. Until now, the principal focus of hardware and softwar...
The Walksat local search algorithm has previously been extended to handle quantification over variables. This greatly reduces model sizes, but in order to guide greedy moves the a...
Consider the robust network design problem of finding a minimum cost network with enough capacity to route all traffic demand matrices in a given polytope. We investigate the impa...
We propose a simple approach to combining first-order logic and probabilistic graphical models in a single representation. A Markov logic network (MLN) is a first-order knowledge b...
