Optimal index assignment of multiple description lattice vector quantizer (MDLVQ) can be posed as a large-scale linear assignment problem. But is this expensive algorithmic approa...
We introduce a new constraint domain, aggregation constraints, that is useful in database query languages, and in constraint logic programming languages that incorporate aggregate...

We introduce a new normal form, called essential tuple normal form (ETNF), for relations in a relational database where the constraints are given by functional dependencies and jo...
