A database schema should be able to evolve to reflect changes to the universe it represents. In existing systems, user transactions get blocked during complex schema transformation...
With technological advancements data availability in power systems is drastically increased. Intelligent electronic devices are capable of communicating recorded data. Data can be...
Replication is crucial to achieve high availability distributed systems. However, non-determinism introduces consistency problems between replicas. Transactions are very well suite...
This paper describes an initiative aimed at adapting swarm intelligence techniques (in particular, Ant Colony Optimization) to an e-learning environment, thanks to the fact that th...
Abstract. In informal mathematical usage we often reason using languages with binding. We usually find ourselves placing capture-avoidance constraints on where variables can and c...
