The algorithm presented here, BCC, is an enhancement of the well known Backtrack used to solve constraint satisfaction problems. Though most backtrack improvements rely on propaga...
We state and solve the query reformulation problem for XML publishing in a general setting that allows mixed (XML and relational) storage for the proprietary data and exploits redu...
The complexity and the variety of the deployed timedependent systems, as well as the high degree of reliability required for their global functioning, justify the care provided to...

This paper focuses on the problem of scheduling outages to computer systems in complex distributed environments. The interconnected nature of these systems makes scheduling global ...
We describe a fast method for creating physically based animation of non-rigid objects. Rapid simulation of nonrigid behavior is based on global deformations. Constraints are used...
