This paper presents an evaluation of the design decisions made in four state-of-the-art constraint solvers; Choco, ECLiPSe, Gecode, and Minion. To assess the impact of design deci...
Abstract-- The problem of private information "leakage" (inadvertently or by malicious design) from the myriad large centralized searchable data repositories drives the n...

Due to implementation constraints the XOR operation is widely used in order to combine plaintext and key bit-strings in secretkey block ciphers. This choice directly induces the cl...
Programs to solve so-called constraint problems are complex pieces of software which require many design decisions to be made more or less arbitrarily by the implementer. These dec...
Nowadays, Data Warehouse (DW) plays a crucial role in the process of decision making. However, their design remains a very delicate and difficult task either for expert or users. ...
