Checking CSP consistency is shown, in theory, to be an NP-complete problem. There is two families of methods for CSP consistency checking. The first family holds the complete meth...
An emerging trend in Web computing aims at collecting and integrating distributed data. For instance, community driven efforts recently have build ontological repositories made of...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a key technique for solving multiagent coordination problems. Unfortunately, finding minimal-cost DCOP solutions is NP-hard. We there...
Abstract. Although mobile hand-held devices (MHDs) are ubiquitous today, little is know about how they are used--especially at home. In this paper, we cast a first look on mobile h...
The perceptibility of scanner noise as a function of resolution is studied using a model for the human visual system and for the scanner noise. The visual system is modeled using ...
