Many real life optimization problems contain both hard and soft constraints, as well as qualitative conditional preferences. However, there is no single formalism to specify all t...

This paper introduces an environment for distributed video transcoding based on Grid computing infrastructure and Internet Backplane Protocol storage infrastructure. A model for s...
Logics for knowledge representation suffer from overspecialization: while each logic may provide an ideal representation formalism for some problems, it is less than optimal for o...

We propose a broadcast protocol that is based on a form of cooperative diversity called the Opportunistic Large Array (OLA). In the initial broadcast, an SNR ("transmission&qu...
Compressive sensing predicts that sufficiently sparse vectors can be recovered from highly incomplete information. Efficient recovery methods such as 1-minimization find the sparse...
