We consider a virtual computing environment that provides computational resources on demand to users with multiattribute task descriptions that include a valuation, resource (CPU)...
The Delaunay triangulation and its dual the Voronoi diagram are ubiquitous geometric complexes. From a topological standpoint, the connection has recently been made between these ...
The implication of multivalued dependencies (MVDs) in relational databases has originally been defined in the context of some fixed finite universe (Fagin 1977, Zaniolo 1976). Whi...
Analytical models for the dynamics of some discrete event systems are introduced where the system trajectories are solutions to linear and mixed-integer programs. 1 BACKGROUND The...
