Many backtracking algorithms exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, in which their running time is often much longer than their median. We analyze the behavior of two natural variant...
This pearl develops a statement about parallel prefix computation in the spirit of Knuth's 0-1-Principle for oblivious sorting algorithms. It turns out that 0-1 is not quite ...
We introduce just enough tabling (JET), a mechanism to suspend and resume the tabled execution of logic programs at an arbitrary point. In particular, JET allows pruning of tabled...
Even though traceability is legally required in most safety critical software applications and is a recognized component of many software process improvement initiatives, organiza...
Abstract. The idea of evolving novel rather than fit solutions has recently been offered as a way to automatically discover the kind of complex solutions that exhibit truly intel...
