—An increasing amount of data produced nowadays is in RDF format. While significant work has been performed on view selection and query optimization algorithms in relational dat...
This paper focuses on parallel query optimization. We consider the operator problem and introduce a new class of execution strategies called Linear-Oriented Bushy Trees (LBTs). Co...
— An active cannula is a medical device composed of thin, pre-curved, telescoping tubes that may enable many new surgical procedures. Planning optimal motions for these devices i...
Embedded system optimization typically considers objectives such as cost, timing, buffer sizes and power consumption. Robustness criteria, i.e. sensitivity of the system to variat...
Partially-observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) provide a powerful model for sequential decision-making problems with partially-observed state and are known to have (appro...
