The field of stochastic optimization studies decision making under uncertainty, when only probabilistic information about the future is available. Finding approximate solutions to...
: Optimizers in modern DBMSs utilize a cost model to choose an efficient query execution plan (QEP) among all possible ones for a given query. The accuracy of the cost estimates de...

Abstract. Constraints and preferences are ubiquitous in real-life. Moreover, preferences can be of many kinds: qualitative, quantitative, conditional, positive or negative, to name...
We describe the expressive power of temporal branching time logics that use the modalities EX and EF. We give a forbidden pattern characterization of the tree languages definable...
Abstract. Cryptographic algorithms are used in a large variety of different applications to ensure security services. It is, thus, very interesting to investigate various implement...
