Elements of transaction processing become more and more accepted as a base for general purpose distributed computing.We have developed an action concept with an extended functiona...

The goal of this paper is to model an agent who dislikes large choice sets because of the “cost of thinking” involved in choosing from them. We take as a primitive a preferenc...
Machine learning techniques such as tree induction have become accepted tools for developing generalisations of large data sets, typically for use with production rule systems in p...
Contrary to popular belief, relation schemes in good classical normal forms are not necessarily devoid of redundancies. This arises from the fact that classical data dependencies ...
