We propose an efficient method that applies directed soft arc consistency to a Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) which is a fundamental framework of multi-agent ...
The rich dependency structure found in the columns of real-world relational databases can be exploited to great advantage, but can also cause query optimizers--which usually assum...

Embedded systems are often used in a safety-critical context, e.g. in airborne or vehicle systems. Typically, timing constraints must be satisfied so that real-time embedded syste...
In autonomous agent systems, memory is an important element to handle agent behaviors appropriately. We present the analysis of memory requirements for robotic tasks including wal...
Database system architectures are undergoing revolutionary changes. Most importantly, algorithms and data are being unified by integrating programming languages with the database ...
