Let G = (V, E, w) be a directed graph, where w : V → R is an arbitrary weight function defined on its vertices. The bottleneck weight, or the capacity, of a path is the smalles...
Any valid Ramsey statement n −→ (k)2 2 can be encoded into a DNF formula RAM(n, k) of size O(nk) and with terms of size k 2 . Let rk be the minimal n for which the statement h...
The domain of operating systems has often been mentioned as an “ideal candidate” for the application of AOP; fundamental policies we find in these systems, such as synchroniz...
Block joinpoints allow programmers to explicitly mark regions of base code as “to be advised”, thus avoiding the need to extract the block into a method just for the sake of c...
Software systems are increasingly being built as compositions of reusable artifacts (components, frameworks, toolkits, plug-ins, APIs, etc) that have non-trivial usage constraints...
