We apply the classic theory of linearizability to operations that must wait for some other thread to establish a precondition. We model such an operation as a request and a follow-...
The phenomenon of visual curve completion, where the visual system completes the missing part (e.g., due to occlusion) between two contour fragments, is a major problem in percept...
In ordered logic programs, i.e. partially ordered sets of clauses where smaller rules carry more preference, inconsistencies, which appear as conflicts between applicable rules, a...
SRT division, as it was discovered in the late 1950s represented an important improvement in the speed of division algorithms for computers at the time. A variant of SRT division ...
Several lossless data compression schemes have been proposed over the past years. Since Shannon developed information theory in his seminal paper, however, the problem of data com...
