The growing nature of databases, and the flexibility inherent in the SQL query language that allows arbitrarily complex formulations, can result in queries that take inordinate am...
Abstract. We present an expected polynomial time algorithm to generate a labeled planar graph uniformly at random. To generate the planar graphs, we derive recurrence formulas that...
There has been an explosion of hyperlinked data in many domains, e.g., the biological Web. Expressive query languages and effective ranking techniques are required to convert this...
This article studies the problem of modifying the action ordering of a plan in order to optimise the plan according to various criteria. One of these criteria is to make a plan le...
