The problem of data integration (query decomposition, data fragmentation) has been widely studied in literature, but the inherent hierarchical nature of XML data presents problems...
The modeling and analysis of large networks of autonomous agents is an important topic with applications in many different disciplines. One way of modeling the development of such...
—Variations of process parameters have an important impact on reliability and yield in deep sub micron IC technologies. One methodology to estimate the influence of these effects...
Local ratio is a well-known paradigm for designing approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. At a very high level, a local-ratio algorithm first decomposes ...
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in computational models of biological systems based on various calculi of communicating processes, such as the stochastic pi-ca...
