Local search is a powerful and well-established method for solving hard combinatorial problems. Yet, until recently, it has provided very little user support, leading to time-consu...
The PolicyUpdater1 system is a fully-implemented access control system that provides policy evaluations as well as dynamic policy updates. These functions are achieved by the use o...
We introduce an annotated type system for a compiler intermediate language. The type system is designed to support inter-procedural register allocation and the representation of t...
Agile practices are arguably improving the productivity of small, co-located software development teams. In this paper, we describe an approach that tries to overcome the constrai...
In this paper, an algorithm for obtaining consistent answers to queries posed to inconsistent relational databases is presented. The algorith is proven to be sound, terminating and...
