Many optimization problems require the satisfaction of constraints in addition to their objectives. When using an evolutionary algorithm to solve such problems, these constraints c...
Framework optimizations capitalize on object dependencies, while framework flexibility and composability demand object independence. This paper shows how to balance these conflicti...
We present an abstract language for distributed systems of processes with local memory and private communication channels. Communication between processes is done via messaging. Th...
We describe the design and implementation of a system for logic-based multimedia retrieval. As highlevel logic for retrieval of hypermedia documents, we have developed a probabilis...
Shared-memory multiprocessors are frequently used in a timesharing style with multiple parallel applications executing at the same time. In such an environment, where the machine ...
