The finite average response time model is a very weak distributed systems model: it permits runs with unbounded transmission and processing delays and it does not bound the relat...
In this paper, two concepts from different research areas are addressed together, namely functional dependency (FD) and multidimensional association rule (MAR). FD is a class of i...
We recall the notions of weak and strong Euler characteristics on a first order structure and make explicit the notion of a Grothendieck ring of a structure. We define partially or...
Partially preordered belief bases are very convenient for an efficient representation of incomplete knowledge. They offer flexibility and avoid to compare unrelated pieces of inf...
Both genetic algorithms (GAs) and temporal difference (TD) methods have proven effective at solving reinforcement learning (RL) problems. However, since few rigorous empirical com...
