We describe a methodology for representing and optimizing user preferences on plans. Our approach differs from previous work on plan optimization in that we employ a generalizatio...

Abstract. We introduce a generic algorithmic technique and apply it on decision and counting versions of graph coloring. Our approach is based on the following idea: either a graph...
The divide-and-conquer pattern of parallelism is a powerful approach to organize parallelism on problems that are expressed naturally in a recursive way. In fact, recent tools such...
Fuzzy rule based image segmentation techniques tend in general, to be application dependent with the structure of the membership functions being predefined and in certain cases, t...
Lower envelopes are fundamental structures in computational geometry, which have many applications, such as computing general Voronoi diagrams and performing hidden surface removal...
