We present a formal analysis of the database layout problem, i.e., the problem of determining how database objects such as tables and indexes are assigned to disk drives. Optimizin...
Abstract: Schnorr's algorithm for finding an approximation for the shortest nonzero vector in an n-dimensional lattice depends on a parameter k. He proved that for a fixed k ...
This paper presents an e cient recursive algorithm for generating operationally optimal intra mode scalable layer decompositions of object contours. The problem is posed in terms ...
Cooperative negotiation is proved to be an effective paradigm to solve complex dynamic multi-objective problems in which each objective is associated to an agent. When the multi-o...
Planning problems are often formulated as heuristic search. The choice of the heuristic function plays a significant role in the performance of planning systems, but a good heuris...
