The presence of uncertainty in the real world makes robustness to be a desired property of solutions to constraint satisfaction problems. Roughly speaking, a solution is robust if...
Database query optimizers rely on data statistics in selecting query execution plans. Similar query optimization techniques are desirable for deductive databases and, to make this...
Orthogonal arrays (OA’s) are widely used in design of experiments. Each OA has a specific number of rows that is fixed by the number of factors in the OA and the number of leve...
An important question in genome evolution is whether there exist fragile regions (rearrangement hotspots) where chromosomal rearrangements are happening over and over again. Althou...
High availability is a critical feature for service clusters and cloud computing, and is often considered more valuable than performance. One commonly used technique to enhance the...
