— As an optical signal propagates along a lightpath to its destination in distributed wavelength-routed optical networks, the signal’s quality is degraded by transmission impai...
Abstract. We present an algorithmic framework for integrating solution methods that is based on search, inference, and relaxation and their interactions. We show that the following...
The paper introduces value precedence on integer and set sequences. A useful application of the notion is in breaking symmetries of indistinguishable values, an important class of ...
This paper studies the problem of updates in decentralised and self-organising P2P systems in which peers have low online probabilities and only local knowledge. The update strate...
In this paper, we propose a new language-independent representation of adhoc constraints, called a box constraint collection. Using constructive disjunction, this representation ac...
