An important class of queries is the LIKE predicate in SQL. In the absence of an index, LIKE queries are subject to performance degradation. The notion of indexing on substrings (...
Parallel programming is elusive. The relative performance of di erent parallel implementations varies with machine architecture, system and problem size. How to compare di erent i...
Dynamic programming algorithms have been successfully applied to propositional stochastic planning problems by using compact representations, in particular algebraic decision diag...
In non-binary constraint satisfaction problems, the study of local consistencies that only prune values from domains has so far been largely limited to generalized arc consistency...
