In this paper, we propose a stochastic version of a general purpose functional programming language as a method of modeling stochastic processes. The language contains random choi...
With the substantial change of declarative query languages from plain SQL to the so-called \object SQLs", in particular OQL, there has surprisingly been not much change in the...
1 We have developed an approach to acquire complicated user optimization criteria and use them to guide iterative solution improvement. The eectiveness of the approach was tested ...
There is a growing recognition of the need to apply formal mathematical methods in the design of \high con dence" computing systems. Such systems operate in safety critical co...
Given a graph G and a drawing or layout of G, it is sometimes desirable to alter or adjust the layout. The challenging aspect of designing layout adjustment algorithms is to maint...
