The problem of query containment is fundamental to many aspects of database systems, including query optimization, determining independence of queries from updates, and rewriting ...
The coding by which chromosomes represent candidate solutions is a fundamental design choice in a genetic algorithm. This paper describes a novel coding of spanning trees in a gen...
Constraint-based languages can express in a concise way the complex logic of a new generation of interactive services for applications such as banking or stock trading, that must ...
In this paper, we study the design of fault tolerant networks for arrays and meshes by adding redundant nodes and edges. For a target graph G (linear array or mesh in this paper),...
We present a novel approach to creating deformations of polygonal models using Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) to produce localized real-time deformations. Radial Basis Functions as...
