XML transformations are most naturally defined as recursive functions on trees. Their direct implementation, however, causes inefficient memory usage because the input XML tree is...
We present a new approximation method called value extrapolation for Markov processes with large or infinite state spaces. The method can be applied for calculating any performan...
Short development life cycles, the importance of timeto-market and fast changes in technology influence the requirements engineering process. Requirements are exposed to changes d...
MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating large data sets. Users specify a map function that processes a key/value pair to ge...
This paper presents a sequential two-stage strategy for the stochastic synthesis of chemical processes in which flexibility and ability to adjust manipulated variables are taken i...
