The class hierarchy is an important aspect of object-oriented software development. Design and maintenance of such a hierarchy is a difficult task that is often accomplished witho...
Data generalization is widely used to protect identities and prevent inference of sensitive information during the public release of microdata. The k-anonymity model has been exte...
In this work we want to discuss an algorithm for drawing line diagrams of lattices based on force directed placement (FDP). This widely used technique in graph drawing introduces f...
We present DL8, an exact algorithm for finding a decision tree that optimizes a ranking function under size, depth, accuracy and leaf constraints. Because the discovery of optimal...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
