Abstract. We are interested in the theoretical foundations of the optimization of conjunctive regular path queries (CRPQs). The basic problem here is deciding query containment bot...
Three fundamental problems in the study of grasping and dextrous manipulation with multifingered robotic hands are as follows. a) Given a robotic hand and a grasp characterized by ...
This paper is motivated by the need to support multiple service classes in fast packet-switched networks. We address the problem of characterizing and designing scheduling policie...
Consistencies are properties of Constraint Networks (CNs) that can be exploited in order to make inferences. When a significant amount of such inferences can be performed, CNs ar...
Abstract--In the design of distributed quantization systems one inevitably confronts two types of constraints--those imposed by a distributed system's structure and those impo...
