In this paper, we discuss a formalism for modeling regions that are exposed to movement or deformation. The basis of our formalism is the RCC theory, which uses topological relati...
Abstract. Database systems (DBSs) can play an essential role in facilitating the query and cache management in context-aware mobile information systems (CAMIS). Two of the fundamen...
In this paper we present a simple database definition language: that of categories and functors. A database schema is a category and a state is a set-valued functor. We show that m...
We present a decomposition-based approach to managing probabilistic information. We introduce world-set decompositions (WSDs), a space-efficient and complete representation system ...
Abstract: Non-linear state estimation and some related topics, like parametric estimation, fault diagnosis, and perturbation attenuation, are tackled here via a new methodology in ...
