Despite the advances in software engineering since 1968, current methods for going from a set of functional requirements to a design are not as direct, repeatable and constructive...
Cardinality estimation is the problem of estimating the number of tuples returned by a query; it is a fundamentally important task in data management, used in query optimization, ...
Despite continued innovations in design of I/O systems, I/O performance has not kept pace with the progress in processor and communication technology. This paper addresses this I/...
Abstract. Finite-state machines are the most pervasive models of computation, not only in theoretical computer science, but also in all of its applications to real-life problems, a...
Domain-specific control information is often essential in solving difficult planning problems efficiently. Temporal logics are a declarative and expressive representation for su...
