Abstract. The goal of this paper is to study tractable iteration mechanisms for bags. The presence of duplicates in bags prevents iteration mechanisms developed in the context of s...
In a distributed system or communication network tasks may need to be executed on more than one processor. For time-critical tasks, the timing constraints are typically given as e...
Humans are "smart components" in a system, but cannot be directly programmed to perform; rather, their autonomy must be respected as a design constraint and incentives p...
One of the aims of modern Bioinformatics is to discover the molecular mechanisms that rule the protein operation. This would allow us to understand the complex processes involved i...
Data on the Web is increasingly being used for discovery and exploratory tasks. Unlike traditional fact-finding tasks that require only the typical single-query and response parad...
