We investigate the problem of temporal planning with concurrent actions having stochastic durations, especially in the context of extended-state-space based planners. The problem ...
We examine the task of concurrently computing alternative solutions to a problem. We restrict our interest to the case where only one of the solutions is needed; in this case we n...
A workflow consists of a collection of coordinated tasks designed to carry out a welldefined complex process, such as catalog ordering, trip planning, or a business process in an ...
: In order to meet their temporal constraints, current applications such as Web-based services and electronic commerce use the technique of data replication. To take the replicatio...
In a recent paper [8], it was shown how tests for database application systems can be executed efficiently. The challenge was to control the state of the database during testing ...
