An important issue in data warehouse development is the selection of a set of views to materialize in order to accelerate OLAP queries, given certain space and maintenance time co...
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...
In this paper, we present a dynamic and adaptive variable ordering heuristic which guides systematic search toward inconsistent or hard parts of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (...
We present a statistical optimization framework for solving the end-to-end problem of progressive transmission of images over noisy channels. We consider the impacts of transmissi...
Document clustering techniques mostly depend on models that impose explicit and/or implicit priori assumptions as to the number, size, disjunction characteristics of clusters, and/...
