Through the development of a computational sociocultural model, we demonstrate the potential utility of a rapid-modeling approach for exploring the dynamics of nuclear deterrence. We review the past literature, showing how our model is influenced by both the domestic politics and constructivist paradigm models of nuclear deterrence. Our model development process incorporates expert elicitation into...
We present a novel preprocessing technique for distributed query optimization which achieves nearly all of the benefits that full database reduction by semijoin achieves, but for a small fraction of the cost. Most previous researchers have approached the problem of distributed query optimization with the idea of achieving maximum database reduction at any cost. We take an engineering approach — that,...
