: Several techniques for implementing Prolog in a efficient manner have been devised since the original interpreter, many of them aimed at achieving more speed. There are two main ...
Query optimization is used frequently in relational database management systems. Most existing techniques are based on reordering the relational operators, where the most selective...
In the multilevel generalized assignment problem (MGAP) agents can perform tasks at more than one efficiency level. Important manufacturing problems, such as lot sizing, can be ea...
Developing dialogue systems is a complex process. In particular, designing efficient dialogue management strategies is often difficult as there are no precise guidelines to develo...
In this paper, we propose the use of constraint logic programming as a way of modeling contextsensitive execution-times of program segments. The context-sensitive constraints are ...
