This paper shows that existing definitions of costs associated with soft global constraints are not sufficient to deal with all the usual global constraints. We propose more expre...
Abstract. Symmetry reduction is a technique to alleviate state explosion in model checking by replacing a model of replicated processes with a bisimilar quotient model. The size of...
— In a rice sorting system, the separation distance of one grain from another is determined by the amount of time taken to process the image of each grain. The closer the separat...
This paper approaches the incremental view maintenance problem from an algebraic perspective. We construct a ring of databases and use it as the foundation of the design of a quer...
The main purpose of this paper is to promote the study of computational aspects, primarily the convergence rate, of nonlinear dynamical systems from a combinatorial perspective. W...
