Hyper-heuristics can be thought of as “heuristics to choose heuristics”. They are concerned with adaptively finding solution methods, rather than directly producing a solutio...
We develop a normative theory of interaction-negotiation in particular--among self-interested computationally limited agents where computational actions are game-theoretically tre...
We study the asymptotic behavior at infinity of solutions of a second order evolution equation with linear damping and convex potential. The differential system is defined in a rea...
We study the problem of finding efficient equivalent viewbased rewritings of relational queries, focusing on query optimization using materialized views under the assumption that ...
The fast growth of multimedia information in image and video databases has triggered research on efficient retrieval methods. This paper deals with structural queries, a type of c...
