While deciphering the Enigma Code during World War II, I.J. Good and A.M. Turing considered the problem of estimating a probability distribution from a sample of data. They derive...
A cooperative database allows the user to specify approximate or vague query conditions. A vague query requires the database system to rank the retrieved answers according to thei...
The irradiance at a point on a surface due to a polyhedral source of uniform brightness is given by a well-known analytic formula. In this paper we derive the corresponding analyt...
We discuss description and reasoning over regions. We have proposed a system called SRCC that integrates integration of spatial and semantic data. SRCC can describe and reason abo...
We consider single-stage, single-product Make-to-Stock systems with random demand and random service (production) rate, where demand shortages at the inventory facility are backor...
