Theory, algorithms, techniques and tools for producing a generalisation of a map have long been available. In this paper we study the inverse problem, namely, given two maps L and...
Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
Stevens, Myers, and Constantine introduced the notion of cohesion, an ordinal scale of seven levels that describes the degree to which the actions performed by a module contribute...
Machine learning techniques such as tree induction have become accepted tools for developing generalisations of large data sets, typically for use with production rule systems in p...
Data outsourcing is an emerging paradigm that allows users and companies to give their (potentially sensitive) data to external servers that then become responsible for their stor...
