Kowalski and Sergot’s Event Calculus (EC) is a simple temporal formalism that, given a set of event occurrences, derives the maximal validity intervals (MVIs) over which propert...
We present a framework for integrated scheduling of continuous media (CM) and other applications. The framework, called ARC scheduling, consists of a rate-controlled on-line CPU sc...
Gaining the code re-use advantages of object oriented programming requires dynamic function binding, which allows a new subclass to override a function of a superclass. Dynamic bi...
We present a simple method for rendering directly from compressed textures in hardware and software rendering systems. Textures are compressed using a vector quantization (VQ) met...
The performance of current transaction processing systems largely depends on human experts for administration and tuning. These experts have to specify a multitude of internal con...
