Methods for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOP) have emerged as key techniques for distributed reasoning. Yet, their application faces significant hurdles...
Parametric design systems model a design as a constrained collection of schemata. Designers work in such systems at two levels: definition of schemata and constraints; and search w...
Learning the parameters (conditional and marginal probabilities) from a data set is a common method of building a belief network. Consider the situation where we have known graph s...
This paper describes a system for the animation of algorithms on an electronic chalkboard. The instructor teaching an algorithm can enter data directly through a drawing- the algor...
Despite Java’s automatic reclamation of memory, memory leaks remain an important problem. For example, we frequently encounter memory leaks that cause production servers to crash...
