An estimation algorithm for a query is a probabilistic algorithm that computes an approximation for the size (number of tuples) of the query. One class of estimation algorithms us...
In this paper we propose a methodology to help analyse tendencies in MAS to complement those of simple inspection, Monte Carlo and syntactic proof. We suggest an architecture that ...
A number of diagnostic and optimisation problems in Electronics Computer Aided Design have usually been handled either by specific tools or by mapping them into a general problem s...
We define three composition and structuring concepts which reflect frequently used refinements of ASMs and integrate standard structuring constructs into the global state based ...
Disunification is the problem of deciding satisfiability of a system of equations and disequations with respect to a given equational theory. In this paper we study the disunifica...
