DPOP is an algorithm for distributed constraint optimization which has, as main drawback, the exponential size of some of its messages. Recently, some algorithms for distributed c...
In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...
A hybrid Bayesian Network (BN) is one that incorporates both discrete and continuous nodes. In our extensive applications of BNs for system dependability assessment the models are...

We introduce an approach which combines ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) and IBM ILOG CP Optimizer for solving COPs (Combinatorial Optimization Problems). The problem is modeled using...
Through the use of a new disk-based method for enumerating very large orbits, condensation for orbits with tens of billions of elements can be performed. The algorithm is novel in...
