Preferences in constraint problems are common but significant in many real world applications. In this paper, we extend our conditional and composite CSP (CCCSP) framework, managi...
Abstract. HermiT is a new OWL reasoner based on a novel "hypertableau" calculus. The new calculus addresses performance problems due to nondeterminism and model size--the...
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) with specialized encoding, initialization and local search genetic operators to optimize communication network topologies. This NPhard...
For systems where exact constitutive relations are unknown, a microscopic level description can be alternatively used. As microscopic simulations are computationally expensive, th...
As new approaches and algorithms are developed for system diagnosis, it is important to reflect on existing approaches to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Of concern is i...
