Abstract. One of the most appealing features of constraint programming is its rich constraint language for expressing combinatorial optimization problems. This paper demonstrates t...
Many location-based services require rich and expressive query language support for filtering large amounts of information. In prominent location-based services thousands of conti...
There is a large literature on the rate of convergence problem for general unconstrained stochastic approximations. Typically, one centers the iterate n about the limit point then...
We study extensions of first-order logic over the reals with different types of transitive-closure operators as query languages for constraint databases that can be described by...
Normalizing constant recurrence equations play an important role in the exact analysis of load-independent (LI) product-form queueing networks. However, they have not been extende...
