Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...
Abstract. To select an optimal query evaluation strategy for a path query in an object-oriented database system one has to exploit the available index structures on the path. In a ...
We describe a new subdivision method to efficiently compute the topology and the arrangement of implicit planar curves. We emphasize that the output topology and arrangement are g...
Linguistic research and natural language processing employ large repositories of ordered trees. XML, a standard ordered tree model, and XPath, its associated language, are natural...

Quality-of-service (QoS) routing satisfiesapplication performance requirements and optimizes network resource usage but effective path-selection schemes require the distribution o...
