This short paper is intended to describe for the layman why Jim Gray won so many awards, culminating in his being selected to receive the 1998 ACM Turing Award, arguably the "...
An induced subgraph is called homogeneous if it is either a clique or an independent set. Let hom(G) denote the size of the largest homogeneous subgraph of a graph G. In this shor...
Abstract - This short paper introduces two new fusion rules for combining quantitative basic belief assignments. These rules although very simple have not been proposed in literatu...
In this short paper we examine the problem of scheduling malleable tasks on parallel processors. One of the main aims of the paper is to present a simple complexity interpretation...
This short paper is concerned with the use of patterns to support the development of software for reliable, resource-constrained, embedded systems. The paper introduces one new pa...
This short paper argues that references in user interfaces, in particular names and the values they denote, are often designed in a way that is incomplete and inconsistent thereby...
In this short paper, we present the outline of a process for developing design products. The advantage of having a process for these types of projects is that it allows us to focu...
: XML is unique in its very broad acceptance throughout both the document engineering and data processing community. This creates a unique opportunity for unifying the traditionall...

This short paper establishes lower bounds on the time complexity of algorithms solving the generic broadcast problem. The paper shows that (a) to deliver messages in one round, no...
This short paper addresses the problem of mutual understanding from an anthropomorphic point of view, highlighting the underlying basic mechanisms and principles. Then the paper ex...
