A global cardinality constraint (gcc) is specified in terms of a set of variables X = {x1, ..., xp} which take their values in a subset of V = {v1, ..., vd}. It constrains the numb...
A temporal constraint language is a set of relations that has a first-order definition in (Q, <), the dense linear order of the rational numbers. We present a complete comple...
A binary constraints network consists of a set of n variables, defined on domains of size at most d, and a set of e binary constraints. The binary constraint satisfaction problem ...
In this paper, we propose a buffer cache algorithm to build a cost effective storage server for real time news objects. In a News On Demand Server, the number of concurrent stream...
The design of complex concurrent systems often involves intricate performance and dependability considerations. Continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs) are widely used models for co...
