In the context of multidimensional databases implemented on relational DBMSs through star schemes, the most effective technique to enhance performances consists of materializing re...
Most traditional approaches to probabilistic planning in relationally specified MDPs rely on grounding the problem w.r.t. specific domain instantiations, thereby incurring a com...
Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
Introducing priorities on rules in rewriting increases their expressive power and helps to limit computations. Priority rewriting is used in rule-based programming as well as in f...
In Java 2 and Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), trusted code has often been programmed to perform accessrestricted operations not explicitly requested by its untrusted ...
