Abstract Text documents usually embody visually oriented meta-information in the form of complex visual structures, such as tables. The semantics involved in such objects result in...
It is widely recognized that production rules in database systems can be used to automatically maintain derived data such as views. However, writing a correct set of rules for e ci...
This work provides a generalization of the traditional response surface methodology (RSM) that can be applied to complex, multi-objective simulation studies. These problems involv...
Constructing correct concurrent garbage collection algorithms is notoriously hard. Numerous such algorithms have been proposed, implemented, and deployed – and yet the relations...
