To model combinatorial decision problems involving uncertainty and probability, we introduce stochastic constraint programming. Stochastic constraint programs contain both decision...
— We consider a queueing system with controllable service rate; for example, a transmitter whose rate can be controlled by varying the transmission power. For such a system we ob...
This paper focuses on two problems related to QoS-aware I/O server placement in hierarchical Grid environments. Given a hierarchical network with requests from clients, the network...
We define the timetable constrained distance minimization problem (TCDMP) which is a sports scheduling problem applicable for tournaments where the total travel distance must be mi...
Answering queries posed over knowledge bases is a central problem in knowledge representation and database theory. In databases, query containment is one of the important query op...
