The enforcement of semantic integrity constraints in data and knowledge bases constitutea a major performance bottleneck. Integrity constraint simplification methods aim at reduci...
In this paper, we present a GSA-based technique that performs more e cient and more precise symbolic analysis of predicated assignments, recurrences and index arrays. The e ciency...
The impact of learning algorithm optimization by means of parameter tuning is studied. To do this, two quality attributes, sensitivity and classification performance, are investig...
We argue that recent hypervisor-vs-microkernel discussions completely miss the point. Fundamentally, the two classes of systems h in common, and provide similar abstractions. We a...
: The Media Equation asserts that people treat and behave towards computers in much the same way as towards other people, for example regarding politeness. We report the results of...
