Abstract. The operation of base contraction was successfully characterized for a very general class of logics using the notion of remainder sets. Although, in the general case, thi...
The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
Abstract. Spatial logics have been introduced to reason about distributed computation in models for concurrency. We first define a spatial logic for a general class of infinite-...
We examine the stability of multi-class queueing systems with the special feature that the service rates of the various classes depend on the number of users present of each of th...
Abstract— This paper studies robotic sensor networks performing coverage optimization tasks with area constraints. The network coverage of the environment is a function of the ro...
