Constraint programming uses enumeration and search tree pruning to solve combinatorial optimization problems. In order to speed up this solution process, we investigate the use of...
The relationship between search space, distances and genetic operators for syntactic trees is little understood. Geometric crossover and geometric mutation are representation-indep...
In this paper, a new indexing technique to support the query evaluation in document databases is proposed. The key idea of the method is the combination of the technique of pat-tre...
— The complexity of today’s embedded systems forces designers to model and simulate systems and their components to explore the wide range of design choices. Such design space ...
We present an experiment that compares how people perform search tasks in a degree-of-interest browser and in a Windows-Explorer-like browser. Our results show that, whereas users...
