A mechanistic view of software component assembly implies exact matching and fitting of the particular components. We argue that components for large-scale software construction s...
We describe the architecture of a hypertext resource discovery system using a relational database. Such a system can answer questions that combine page contents, metadata, and hyp...

We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

Load balancing is often used to ensure that nodes in a distributed systems are equally loaded. In this paper, we show that for real-time systems, load balancing is not desirable. ...
Branch-and-bound algorithms are general methods applicable to various combinatorial optimization problems and parallelization is one of the most hopeful methods to improve these a...
