The class PCP(f(n), g(n)) consists of all languages L for which there exists a polynomial-time probabilistic oracle machine that uses O(f(n)) random bits, queries O(g(n)) bits of ...
The majority of the work in the area of Markov decision processes has focused on expected values of rewards in the objective function and expected costs in the constraints. Althou...
Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-theshelf processors become cheaper and faster, it...
In this paper we study the following problem. Given a database and a set of queries, we want to find, in advance, a set of views that can compute the answers to the queries, such ...
Abstract. The NValue constraint counts the number of different values assigned to a vector of variables. Propagating generalized arc consistency on this constraint is NP-hard. We ...
