Searching bio-chemical structures is becoming an important application domain of information retrieval. This paper introduces a protein structure matching problem and formulates i...
The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and a...
We present a set of techniques for the synthesis of artificial images that depict branching structures like rivers, cracks, lightning, mountain ranges, or blood vessels. The centr...
The paper presents, first, the Structural Blanks (SB) approach, then a method to compose loop programs. SB is an approach for expressing computations based on recurrence relations...
Abstract. This paper deals with the problem of solving efficiently structured CSPs. It is well known that (hyper)tree-decompositions offer the best approaches from a theoretical v...
