We consider a set of views stating possibly conflicting facts. Negative facts in the views may come, e.g., from functional dependencies in the underlying database schema. We want ...
Distributed real-time systems require a predictable and verifiable mechanism to control the communication medium. Current real-time communication protocols are typically independe...
During the past few years, embedded digital systems have been requested to provide a huge amount of processing power and functionality. A very likely foreseeable step to pursue th...
To cope with large scale, agents are usually organized in a network such that an agent interacts only with its immediate neighbors in the network. Reinforcement learning technique...
We describe a new boosting algorithm that is the first such algorithm to be both smooth and adaptive. These two features make possible performance improvements for many learning ...
