In data mining, searching for frequent patterns is a common basic operation. It forms the basis of many interesting decision support processes. In this paper we present a new type ...
The performance of decoder-based evolutionary algorithms (EAs) strongly depends on the locality of the used decoder and operators. While many approaches to characterize locality ar...
This paper presents DisAC-9, the first optimal distributed algorithm performing the arc-consistency of a constraint network. Our method is optimal according to the number of messa...
We present recommendations on Performance Management for databases supporting Binary Large Objects (BLOB) that, under a wide range of conditions, save both storage space and datab...
One of the problems faced by an organisation participating in a virtual enterprise is how to specify internal and external aspects of the organisation in terms of the organisation...
