Determining relationships such as functional or inclusion dependencies within and across databases is important for many applications in information integration. When such informa...
We consider the problem of finding two parallel rectangles, in arbitrary orientation, covering a given set of n points in a plane, such that the area of the larger rectangle is m...
We propose an online algorithm for planning under uncertainty in multi-agent settings modeled as DEC-POMDPs. The algorithm helps overcome the high computational complexity of solv...
We discuss several problems of analogy-driven proof plan construction which prevent a solution for more diæcult target problems or make a solution very expensive. Some of these pr...
This paper presents a new solution approach to the optimal control problem of fixed frequency switch-mode DC-DC converters using hybrid systems methodologies. In particular, the n...
