While a typical software component has a clearly specified (static) interface in terms of the methods and the input/output types they support, information about the correct sequen...
Proof assistants based on type theories, such as Coq and Lego, allow users to omit subterms on input that can be inferred automatically. While those mechanisms are well known, ad-h...
An emerging challenge in modern distributed querying is to efficiently process multiple continuous aggregation queries simultaneously. Processing each query independently may be i...

We consider distributed opportunistic scheduling (DOS) in wireless ad-hoc networks, where many links contend for the same channel using random access. In such networks, distribute...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
