In this paper we investigate the use of preprocessing when solving Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF). Many different problems can be efficiently encoded as QBF instances, and there...
Data is increasingly being bought and sold online, and Webbased marketplace services have emerged to facilitate these activities. However, current mechanisms for pricing data are ...
This paper addresses the problem of allocating (assigning and scheduling) periodic task modules to processing nodes in distributed real-time systems subject to task precedence and ...
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
Web services are rapidly emerging as a popular standard for sharing data and functionality among heterogeneous systems. We propose a general purpose Web Service Management System (...
