Abstract. The development of scalable parallel database systems requires the design of efficient algorithms for the join operation which is the most frequent and expensive operatio...
Abstract. Even if the multi-agent paradigm has been evolving for fifteen years, the development of concrete methods for problem solving remains a major challenge. This paper focus...
Theoretical research has spent some years facing the problem of how to represent and provide semantics to updates of logic programs. This problem is relevant for addressing highly ...
In [15] we introduced the information landscape as a new concept of a landscape. We showed that for a landscape of a small size, information landscape theory can be used to predic...
Various algorithms have been developed and applied to structural optimization, in which cross-sectional areas of structure members are assumed to be continuous. In most cases of p...
