Abstract. We classify component-based models of computation into component models and interface models. A component model speci es for each component how the component behaves in a...
We consider spatial databases that can be defined in terms of polynomial inequalities, and we are interested in monotonic transformations of spatial databases. We investigate a hi...
IP problems characterise combinatorial optimisation problems where conventional numerical methods based on the hill-climbing technique can not be directly applied. Conventional me...
Peer-to-peer technique has now become one of the major techniques to exchange digital content between peers of the same interest. However, as the amount of peer-topeer traffic inc...
We describe a (meta) formalism for defining a variety of (object oriented) data models in a unified framework based on a variation of first-order logic. As specific example we use...
