Real life optimization problems often require finding optimal solution to complex high dimensional, multimodal problems involving computationally very expensive fitness function e...
Abstract. A fundamental data modeling problem in geographical information systems and spatial database systems refers to an appropriate treatment of the vagueness or indeterminacy ...
A common practice in conceptual modeling is to separate the conceptual from the data model. Although very intuitive, this approach is inadequate for many complex domains, in which...
Analysis of network and application pegormance is traditionally based on mathematical models derived from first principles. Such models are usually complex, diflcult to use, and d...
It is difficult to write programs that behave correctly in the presence of run-time errors. Existing programming language features often provide poor support for executing clean-u...
