A NEW POLYNOMIAL-TIME ALGORITHM FOR LINEAR PROGRAMMING

by N. Karmarkar - COMBINATORICA , 1984
"... We present a new polynomial-time algorithm for linear programming. In the worst case, the algorithm requires O(tf'SL) arithmetic operations on O(L) bit numbers, where n is the number of variables and L is the number of bits in the input. The running,time of this algorithm is better than the ell ..."

Scale-space and edge detection using anisotropic diffusion

by Pietro Perona, Jitendra Malik - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 1990
"... Abstract-The scale-space technique introduced by Witkin involves generating coarser resolution images by convolving the original image with a Gaussian kernel. This approach has a major drawback: it is difficult to obtain accurately the locations of the “semantically mean-ingful ” edges at coarse sca ..."

scales. In this paper we suggest a new definition of scale-space, and introduce a class of algorithms that realize it using a diffusion process. The diffusion coefficient is chosen to vary spatially in such a way as to encourage intraregion smoothing in preference to interregion smoothing. It is shown

Program Analysis and Specialization for the C Programming Language

by Lars Ole Andersen , 1994
"... Software engineers are faced with a dilemma. They want to write general and wellstructured programs that are flexible and easy to maintain. On the other hand, generality has a price: efficiency. A specialized program solving a particular problem is often significantly faster than a general program. ..."

. However, the development of specialized software is time-consuming, and is likely to exceed the production of today’s programmers. New techniques are required to solve this so-called software crisis. Partial evaluation is a program specialization technique that reconciles the benefits of generality

The Semantics Of Constraint Logic Programs

by Joxan Jaffar, Michael Maher, Kim Marriott, Peter Stuckey - JOURNAL OF LOGIC PROGRAMMING , 1996
"... This paper presents for the first time the semantic foundations of CLP in a self-contained and complete package. The main contributions are threefold. First, we extend the original conference paper by presenting definitions and basic semantic constructs from first principles, giving new and comp ..."

Model Checking Programs

by Willem Visser, Klaus Havelund, GUILLAUME BRAT, SEUNGJOON PARK, FLAVIO LERDA , 2003
"... The majority of work carried out in the formal methods community throughout the last three decades has (for good reasons) been devoted to special languages designed to make it easier to experiment with mechanized formal methods such as theorem provers, proof checkers and model checkers. In this pape ..."

environment for Java, called Java PathFinder (JPF), which integrates model checking, program analysis and testing. Part of this work has consisted of building a new Java Virtual Machine that interprets Java bytecode. JPF uses state compression to handle big states, and partial order and symmetry reduction

Concurrent Constraint Programming

by Vijay A. Saraswat, Martin Rinard , 1993
"... This paper presents a new and very rich class of (con-current) programming languages, based on the notion of comput.ing with parhal information, and the con-commitant notions of consistency and entailment. ’ In this framework, computation emerges from the inter-action of concurrently executing agent ..."

The Stable Model Semantics For Logic Programming

by Michael Gelfond, Vladimir Lifschitz , 1988
"... We propose a new declarative semantics for logic programs with negation. Its formulation is quite simple; at the same time, it is more general than the iterated fixed point semantics for stratied programs, and is applicable to some useful programs that are not stratified. ..."

Constraint Logic Programming: A Survey

"... Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) is a merger of two declarative paradigms: constraint solving and logic programming. Although a relatively new field, CLP has progressed in several quite different directions. In particular, the early fundamental concepts have been adapted to better serve in differe ..."

Description Logic Programs: Combining Logic Programs with Description Logic

by Benjamin N. Grosof, Ian Horrocks , 2002
"... We show how to interoperate, semantically and inferentially, between the leading Semantic Web approaches to rules (RuleML Logic Programs) and ontologies (OWL/DAML+OIL Description Logic) via analyzing their expressive intersection. To do so, we define a new intermediate knowledge representation (KR) ..."
