The constraint paradigm provides powerful concepts to represent and solve different kinds of planning problems, e. g. factory scheduling. Factory scheduling is a demanding optimiz...
Interframe compression techniques, such as those used in MPEG video, give rise to a coded bit stream where picture sizes di er by a factor of 10 or more. As a result, bu ering is ...
In large storage systems, it is crucial to protect data from loss due to failures. Erasure codes lay the foundation of this protection, enabling systems to reconstruct lost data w...
This paper describes an improved approach to Boolean network optimization using internal don’t-cares. The improvements concern the type of don’t-cares computed, their scope, a...
As mobile ad hoc networks provide a wide range of possibly critical services, providing quality of service guarantees becomes an essential element. Yet there is a limited understa...
