1993
Manchak, Dennis W., van Beek, Peter
Technical report TR93-16. Many applications -- from planning and scheduling to problems in molecular biology -- rely heavily on a temporal reasoning component. In this paper, we discuss the design and an empirical analysis of algorithms for a temporal reasoning system based on Allen's...

1993
Technical report TR93-11. To meet the data management requirements of new complex applications, object management systems are emerging as the most likely candidate. The general acceptance of this new technology depends on the increased functionality it can provide, and one measurement is the...

The DIOM Approach to Large-scale Interoperable Database Systems
1995
Technical report TR95-16. A large-scale interoperable database system operating in a dynamic environment should provide a uniform access user interface to its components, scalability to larger networks, evolution of database schema and apllications, composability of client and server components,...

Abou-Moustafa, Karim T., Kozyrskyj, Anita, Guttman, David, Scott, James, Yasui, Yutaka
Entropy measures of probability distributions are widely used measures in ecology, biology, genetics, and in other fields, to quantify species diversity of a community. Unfortunately, entropy–based diversity indices, or diversity indices for short, suffer from three problems. First, when...

Technical report TR92-13. Enterprise is a graphical programming environment for designing, coding, debugging, testing, monitoring, profiling and executing programs in a distributed hardware environment. Enterprise code looks like familiar sequential code. The user attaches icons, called assets,...

Schaeffer, Jonathan, Lobe, Greg, Parsons, Ian, Szafron, Duane, Melax, Stan, Smith, Carol, Lu, Paul
Technical report TR92-20. Workstations have been in use for more than a decade now. Although a network of workstations represents a large amount of aggregate computing power, there is a need for software that can harness this power for single, distributed applications. Enterprise is an...

The Graph Isomorphism Problem
1996
Technical report TR96-20. The graph isomorphism problem can be easily stated: check to see if two graphs that look differently are actually the same. The problem occupies a rare position in the world of complexity theory, it is clearly in NP but is not known to be in P and it is not known to be...

Leontiev, Yuri, Ozsu, M. Tamer, Szafron, Duane
Technical report TR98-01. In this paper we present a type system that combines inclusion and parametric polymorphism with behaviors (multi-methods) and precise function typing. Type declarations allow user-definable variance specification of type parameters and user-definable subtyping between...

Ozsu, M. Tamer, Tansel, Abdullah, Vittal, Chiradeep
Technical report TR94-16. We describe the design of a multimedia database for a distributed news-on-demand multimedia information system. News-on-demand is an application that utilizes broadband network services to deliver news articles to subscribers in the form of multimedia documents. ...
