Application systems in the earth observation area can be characterised as distributed, platform-inhomogeneous, complex, and cost intensive information systems. In order to manage t...
Complex systems consist of a large number of entities with their independent local rules and goals, along with their interactions. The effect of these properties tends to produce ...

We present an approach to synthesizing shapes from complex domains, by identifying new plausible combinations of components from existing shapes. Our primary contribution is a new...
A query optimizer compares alternative plans in its search space to find the best plan for a given query. Depending on the search space and the enumeration algorithm, optimizers v...

We develop a model of normative systems in which agents are assumed to have multiple goals of increasing priority, and investigate the computational complexity and game theoretic ...
