The e ciency of pattern recognition is particularly crucial in two scenarios; whenever there are a large number of classes to discriminate, and, whenever recognition must be perfo...
We present a static analysis that infers both upper and lower bounds on the usage that a logic program makes of a set of user-definable resources. The inferred bounds will in gener...
An odd cycle of a logic program is a simple cycle that has an odd number of negative edges in the dependency graph of the program. Similarly, an even cycle is one that has an even...
The replication number of a branching program is the minimum number R such that along every accepting computation at most R variables are tested more than once; the sets of variab...
—Coordinated checkpointing simplifies failure recovery and eliminates domino effects in case of failures by preserving a consistent global checkpoint on stable storage. However, ...
