Online offerings such as web search, news portals, and e-commerce applications face the challenge of providing high-quality service to a large, heterogeneous user base. Recent eff...
Motivated by improvements in constraint-solving technology and by the increase of routinely available computational power, partial-program synthesis is emerging as an effective a...
—Constraint satisfaction has been a very successful paradigm for solving problems such as resource allocation and planning. Many of these problems pose themselves in a context in...
We propose the mqr-tree, a two-dimensional spatial access method that improves upon the 2DR-tree. The 2DRtree uses two-dimensional nodes so that the relationships between all obje...
Abstract— Highly heterogeneous robotic systems are becoming increasingly common, as are robotic systems integrated with smart environments. In such distributed systems, there are...
