Constraint programming offers a variety of modeling objects such as logical and global constraints, that lead to concise and clear models for expressing combinatorial optimization...
1 We have developed an approach to acquire complicated user optimization criteria and use them to guide iterative solution improvement. The eectiveness of the approach was tested ...
We describe a new approach to object replication in Java, aimed at improving the performance of parallel programs. Our programming model allows the programmer to define groups of ...
The performance of a database system depends strongly on the layout of database objects, such as indexes or tables, onto the underlying storage devices. A good layout will both ba...
ACT We consider an optimal power and rate scheduling problem for a single user transmitting to a base station on a fading wireless link with the objective of minimizing the mean de...
