The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
Higher-Order Fixpoint Logic (HFL) is a hybrid of the simply typed λ-calculus and the modal µ-calculus. This makes it a highly expressive temporal logic that is capable of express...
Current verification condition (VC) generation algorithms, such as weakest preconditions, yield a VC whose size may be exponential in the size of the code fragment being checked. ...
The class Max (r, 2)-CSP (or simply Max 2-CSP) consists of constraint satisfaction problems with at most two r-valued variables per clause. For instances with n variables and m bin...
Abstract— Many of today’s data-intensive applications manipulate disk-resident data sets. As a result, their overall behavior is tightly coupled with their disk performance. Un...
