There is a growing recognition of the need to apply formal mathematical methods in the design of \high con dence" computing systems. Such systems operate in safety critical co...
Many algorithms for processing probabilistic networks are dependent on the topological properties of the problem's structure. Such algorithmse.g., clustering, conditioning ar...
Constraint networks have been shown to be useful in formulating such diverse problems as scene labeling, natural language parsing, and temporal reasoning. Given a constraint netwo...
