In contrast to a large body of theoretical work on computer systems, distributed systems are not idealised constructions, unconstrained by physical world limitations. They must be...
This work introduces a combinatorial optimization problem called Mars Express Memory Dumping Problem (Mex-Mdp), which arises in the European Space Agency program Mars Express. It c...
New methods to generate hard random problem instances have driven progress on algorithms for deduction and constraint satisfaction. Recently Achlioptas et al. (AAAI 2000) introduc...
