Twig pattern matching (TPM) is the core operation of XML query processing. Existing approaches rely on either efficient data structures or novel labeling/indexing schemes to reduce...
The rapid and efficient creation of virtual environments has become a crucial part of virtual reality applications. In particular, civil and defense applications often require an...
In cooperative pathfinding problems, non-interfering paths that bring each agent from its current state to its goal state must be planned for multiple agents. We present the first...
In this paper we present an agent language that combines agent functionality with an action theory and model-theoretic semantics. The language is based on abductive logic programmi...
