Abstract. In this short paper we describe the DFL hybrid knowledge base, that integrates descriptions with expressive object-oriented rules. The knowledge base manages a database o...
Applications require the composition of resources to execute in a grid computing environment. The Grid Service Providers (GSPs), the owners of the computational resources, must for...
We study the random composition of a small family of O(n3 ) simple permutations on {0, 1}n . Specifically we ask how many randomly selected simple permutations need be composed to...
Traditional indexing techniques are not well suited for complex data types such as spatial, spatio-temporal, and multimedia data types, where an instance is a composite of multipl...
We define a core language combining computational and architectural primitives, and study how static typing may be used to ensure safety properties of component composition and dyn...
