Abstract-- When dealing with massive quantities of data, topk queries are a powerful technique for returning only the k most relevant tuples for inspection, based on a scoring func...
Taha and Nielsen have developed a multi-stage calculus λα with a sound type system using the notion of environment classifiers. They are special identifiers, with which code fr...
In this paper, we present methods for supporting autonomous updates in replicated databases. Autonomous updates are of particular importance to applications that cannot tolerate t...

We consider the validation of randomly generated patterns in a Monte-Carlo Tree Search program. Our bandit-based genetic programming (BGP) algorithm, with proved mathematical prope...
— Modern SAT solvers have proved highly successful in finding counterexamples to temporal properties of systems, using a method known as ”bounded model checking”. It is natu...
