Query expansion is a well-known technique that has been shown to improve average retrieval performance. This technique has not been used in many operational systems because of the...
We develop new methods to statically bound the resources needed for the execution of systems of concurrent, interactive threads. Our study is concerned with a synchronous model of ...
A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) model can be preprocessed to ensure that any choices made will lead to solutions, without the need to backtrack. This can be especially usef...

This paper presents a model and implementation techniques for speeding up constraint propagation. Two fundamental approaches to improving constraint propagation are explored: keepi...
Although many spatio-temporal conceptual models has been proposed in the last years, users must express their queries on the underlying physical data structures. In the context of ...
