Skyline queries have gained much attention as alternative query semantics with pros (e.g.low query formulation overhead) and cons (e.g.large control over result size). To overcome ...
Abstract. Invariants that incrementally maintain the value of expresder assignments to their variables are a natural abstraction to build high-level local search algorithms. But th...
Abstract. An interesting class of production/inventory control problems considers a single product and a single stocking location, given a stochastic demand with a known non-statio...
Abstract. The paper presents an unsupervised method for partiallyblurred image restoration without influencing unblurred regions or objects. Maximum a posteriori estimation of para...
Abstract. Some constraint problems have a combinatorial structure where the constraints allow the sequence of variables to be rotated (necklaces), if not also the domain values to ...
