Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
Real-world datasets exhibit a complex dependency structure among the data attributes. Learning this structure is a key task in automatic statistics configuration for query optimi...
Refinement operators for theories avoid the problems related to the myopia of many relational learning algorithms based on the operators that refine single clauses. However, the n...

Object-oriented frameworks play an essential role in the implementation of product-line architectures (PLAs) for product families. However, recent case studies reveal that deriving...
In an on-line statistical database, the query-answering system should prevent answers to statistical queries from leading to disclosure of confidential data. On the other hand, a s...
