Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
In order to achieve high performance, contemporary microprocessors must effectively process the four major instruction types: ALU, branch, load, and store instructions. This paper...

A pseudo-Boolean function is a real-valued function defined on {0, 1}n . A k-bounded function is a pseudo-Boolean function that can be expressed as a sum of subfunctions each of w...
Current computer security systems are based on the premise that once a user presents valid credentials to the authentication system (e.g. valid ID and password), they are granted ...
In this paper, we demonstrate that the main standard optimization techniques dependency directed backtracking and model merging can be adapted to description logics with concrete ...
