In this paper we develop a methodology for defining stopping rules in a general class of global random search algorithms that are based on the use of statistical procedures. To bu...
We present several methods for mining knowledge from the query logs of the MSN search engine. Using the query logs, we build a time series for each query word or phrase (e.g., `Th...

We investigate the problem of searching similar multiattribute time sequences. Such sequences arise naturally in a number of medical, financial, video, weather forecast, and stoc...
A clausal resolution approach originally developed for the branching logic CTL has recently been extended to the logics ECTL and ECTL+ . In the application of the resolution rules...
Sequence alignment is an important problem in computational biology. We compare two different approaches to the problem of optimally aligning two or more character strings: bounde...
