The Internet has led to the development of on-line markets, and computer scientists have designed various auction algorithms, as well as automated exchanges for standardized commo...
In a distributed system, a number of application tasks may need to be assigned to different processors such that the system cost is minimized and the constraints with limited reso...
Abstract. In this paper we develop a localized value-ordering heuristic for distributed resource allocation problems. We show how this value ordering heuristics can be used to achi...
Abstract. The union-find algorithm can be seen as solving simple equations between variables or constants. With a few lines of code change, we generalise its implementation in CHR...
Despite advances in recent years in the area of mandatory access control in database systems, today's information repositories remain vulnerable to inference and data associa...
