View materialization is a central issue in logical design of data warehouses since it is one of the most powerful techniques to improve the response to the workload. Most approach...
The paper addresses the problem of test derivation from partially defined specifications. A specification is modeled by an Input/Output FSM such that transitions from some states ...
This paper explores the increasing the heterogeneity of an agent population to stabilize decentralized systems by adding bias terms to each agent's expected payoffs. Two appr...
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) allow one to model complex dynamic decision or control problems that include both action outcome uncertainty and imperfect ...
This paper describes a method for developing a transform between two device CMYK spaces in a way that preserves information about the black separation. An important application of...
