Given the threat of re-identification in our growing digital society, guaranteeing privacy while providing worthwhile data for knowledge discovery has become a difficult problem. ...
The efficient execution of integration processes between distributed, heterogeneous data sources and applications is a challenging research area of data management. These inn proc...
As many real-world problems involve user preferences, costs, or probabilities, constraint satisfaction has been extended to optimization by generalizing hard constraints to soft co...
We consider a distributed system that disseminates highvolume event streams to many simultaneous monitoring applications over a low-bandwidth network. For bandwidth efficiency, we...
The results of the latest International Probabilistic Planning Competition (IPPC-2008) indicate that the presence of dead ends, states with no trajectory to the goal, makes MDPs h...
