1995 | 656 Pages | ISBN: 3540602992 | PDF | 12 MB
This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming, CP ’95, held in Cassis near Marseille, France in September 1995.The 33 refereed full papers included were selected out of 108 submissions and constitute the main part of the book; in addition there is a 60-page documentation of the four invited papers and a section presenting industrial reports. Thus besides having a very strong research component, the volume will be attractive for practitioners. The papers are organized in sections on efficient constraint handling, constraint logic programming, concurrent constraint programming, computational logic, applications, and operations research.

Constraint-Based Mining and Inductive Databases European Workshop on Inductive Databases and Constraint Based Mining, Hinterza


Free Download Constraint-Based Mining and Inductive Databases: European Workshop on Inductive Databases and Constraint Based Mining, Hinterzarten, Germany, March 11-13, 2004, Revised Selected Papers By Roberto J. Bayardo (auth.), Jean-François Boulicaut, Luc De Raedt, Heikki Mannila (eds.)
2006 | 404 Pages | ISBN: 3540313311 | PDF | 5 MB
The 18 articles in this state-of-the-art survey present the latest results in inductive querying and constraint-based data mining and also identify future directions of this newly emerging field lying at the intersection of data mining and database research. The papers address topical sections on foundations of inductive database frameworks, optimizing inductive queries on local patterns, optimizing inductive queries on global patterns, and applications of inductive querying techniques.

Introduction to Constraint Databases


Free Download Introduction to Constraint Databases by Peter Z. Revesz
English | PDF | 2002 | 406 Pages | ISBN : 0387987290 | 3.5 MB
Differing from other books on the subject, this one uses the framework of constraint databases to provide a natural and powerful generalization of relational databases. An important theme running through the text is showing how relational databases can smoothly develop into constraint databases, without sacrificing any of the benefits of relational databases whilst gaining new advantages. Peter Revesz begins by discussing data models and how queries may be addressed to them. From here, he develops the theory of relational and constraint databases, including Datalog and the relational calculus, concluding with three sample constraint database systems – DISCO, DINGO, and RATHER. Advanced undergraduates and graduates in computer science will find this a clear introduction to the subject, while professionals and researchers will appreciate this novel perspective on their subject.

Copyright as a Constraint on Creating Technological Value


Free Download Copyright as a Constraint on Creating Technological Value
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031512758 | 320 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2.3 MB
Can we regulate something that doesn’t exist yet? Can Europe create its own Silicon Valley? Who gets to create technological value in today’s world? Whatever happened to the once-flourishing idea of rags to riches? Will new and exciting innovations only ever come from big tech companies? Can the EU establish its own flexible framework for boosting innovation, e.g. by facilitating the transformative use of technologies and data?This book seeks to answer these questions by exploring the differences in copyright culture in Europe and the United States, with its flexible fair use framework. The findings are anything but obvious, and decades of case law on both sides of the Atlantic tell a story of judges going to great lengths to deal with new challenges while navigating the imperfections of statutory law – both where it is too broadly formulated and where it is too prescriptive.How can the population’s creative potential best be fostered? What do software innovations have in common with the evolution of living organisms? What are the vulnerabilities of distributed creativity? Answers are sought in the processes that came into being during the early years of the digital revolution and were then forced to take a back seat as control of the means of production was increasingly placed in the hands of tech companies. The findings and insights presented here are highly relevant for today’s digital policymaking. Market concentration processes in innovation haven’t ceased; they are ongoing. And in an age where data-driven services are creating and reinforcing global oligopolies, the question posed by the U.S. Supreme Court in Google v. Oracle is now more relevant than ever: who should hold the keys to digital innovation?
