This paper is an enquiry into the interaction between multiple description coding (MDC) and network routing. We are mainly concerned with rate-distortion optimized network flow of...
We study the design of truthful mechanisms that do not use payments for the generalized assignment problem (GAP) and its variants. An instance of the GAP consists of a bipartite g...
This paper discusses a simple representation of variable-dimensional optimization problems for evolutionary algorithms. Although it was successfully applied to the optimization of ...
The optimization of similarity queries using metric access methods has been widely discussed in the last decades. Similarity queries consider one object as the query center, and re...

We propose an extension of functional logic languages that allows the definition of operations with patterns containing other defined operation symbols. Such “function patterns...
