In the study of data exchange one usually assumes an openworld semantics, making it possible to extend instances of target schemas. An alternative closed-world semantics only move...
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different site...
This paper introduces a new algorithm, Q2, foroptimizingthe expected output ofamultiinput noisy continuous function. Q2 is designed to need only a few experiments, it avoids stron...

An interactive system is described for creating and animating deformable 3D characters. By using a hybrid layered model of kinematic and physics-based components together with an ...
We study self-organized cooperation in a heterogeneous robotic swarm consisting of two sub-swarms. The robots of each sub-swarm play distinct roles based on their different charac...
