Graph-theory-based approaches have been used with great success when analyzing abstract properties of natural and artificial networks. However, these approaches have not factored...
—As databases increasingly integrate different types of information such as multimedia, spatial, time-series, and scientific data, it becomes necessary to support efficient retri...
Power consumption is a troublesome design constraint for emergent systems such as IBM’s BlueGene /L. If current trends continue, future petaflop systems will require 100 megawat...
There has been much interest in testing from finite state machines (FSMs) as a result of their suitability for modelling or specifying state-based systems. Where there are multip...
Reasoning, problem solving, indeed the general process of acquiring knowledge, is not an isolated, homogenous affair involving a one agent using a single form of representation, b...
