This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
Several computational problems in phylogenetic reconstruction can be formulated as restrictions of the following general problem: given a formula in conjunctive normal form where ...
We propose a sensornet programming model based on declarative spatio-temporal constraints on events only, not sensors. Where previous approaches conflate events and sensors becaus...
: Workflow systems often present the user with rich interfaces that express all the capabilities and complexities of the application programs and the computing environments that th...

We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
