We consider the multiple shift scheduling problem modelled as a covering problem. Such problems are characterized by a constraint matrix that has in every column blocks of consecu...
Abstract--We derive a class of algorithms for independent component analysis (ICA) based on maximum likelihood (ML) estimation and perform stability analysis of natural gradient ML...
Many models from a variety of areas involve the computation of an equilibrium or fixed point of some kind. Examples include Nash equilibria in games; market equilibria; computing o...
Abstract. For Paradigm models, evolution is just-in-time specified coordination conducted by a special reusable component McPal. Evolution can be treated consistently and on-the-fl...
Abstract. Multimedia style sheet systems uniformly use a constraintbased model of layout. Constraints provide a uniform mechanism for all aspects of style management and layout and...
