We present a semantic caching approach for optimizing the performance of information mediators. A critical problem with information mediators, particularly those gathering and int...
We present a novel method for fast retrieval of exact Minkowski sums of pairs of convex polytopes in R3 , where one of the polytopes keeps rotating. The algorithm is based on pre-...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

Combining constraints using logical connectives such as disjunction is ubiquitous in constraint programming, because it adds considerable expressive power to a constraint language...

Background: To understand the evolutionary role of Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT), accurate methods are needed to identify transferred genes and infer their timing of acquisition. Ph...
