The HM(X) system is a generalization of the Hindley/Milner system parameterized in the constraint domain X. Type inference is performed by generating constraints out of the progra...
Index tuning, i.e., selecting the indexes appropriate for a workload, is a crucial problem in database system tuning. In this paper, we solve index tuning for large problem instan...
Disunification is the problem of deciding satisfiability of a system of equations and disequations with respect to a given equational theory. In this paper we study the disunifica...
We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...
