ed Abstract Factory is yet another. When patterns cooperate, the cooperation itself can give rise to problems, contexts, trade-offs, and consequences. For instance, should a Visito...
We present Ensemble, a message-passing implementation methodology, applied to PVM. Ensemble overcomes problems and complexities in developing applications in messagepassing enviro...
Runtime bloat degrades significantly the performance and scalability of software systems. An important source of bloat is the inefficient use of containers. It is expensive to cre...
Genetic Algorithms are heuristic search schemes based on a model of Darwinian evolution. Although not guaranteed to find the optimal solution, genetic algorithms have been shown t...

We present new results on the well-studied problem of learning DNF expressions. We prove that an algorithm due to Kushilevitz and Mansour [13] can be used to weakly learn DNF form...
