Vertical partition is an important technique in database design used to enhance performance in database systems. Vertical fragmentation is a combinatorial optimization problem that...
We model social choice problems in which self interested agents with private utility functions have to agree on values for a set of variables subject to side constraints. The goal...
The behavior of natural, biological ecosystems is for a large part determined by environmental conditions. It should therefore be possible to experimentally manipulate such condit...
