Abstract The consensus problem has recently emerged as a major interest in systems conferences, yet the systems community tends to ignore most of the large body of theory on this s...
Continuous first-order logic has found interest among model theorists who wish to extend the classical analysis of “algebraic” structures (such as fields, group, and graphs) ...
Kernel functions have become an extremely popular tool in machine learning, with an attractive theory as well. This theory views a kernel as implicitly mapping data points into a ...
Abstract. This paper develops the model theory of ordered structures that satisfy Keisler's regularity scheme, and its strengthening REF(L) (the reflection scheme) which is an...
There has been much discussion of what a scientific theory of consciousness would look like, and even whether such a theory is possible. Some common misunderstandings of the natur...
Perturbation theory has always been an important part of natural sciences. From celestial mechanics to quantum theory of fields it has always played a central role that this litt...
The min-plus theory of greedy shapers has been developed after Cruz's results on the calculus of network delays. An example of greedy shaper is the buffered leaky bucket cont...
An instance of the (Generalized) Post Correspondence Problem is during the decision process typically reduced to one or more other instances, called its successors. In this paper ...
In this paper a theory of delegation is presented. There are at least three reasons for developing such a theory. First, one of the most relevant notions of "agent" is b...
We present a logical approach to plan recognition that builds on Kautz's theory of keyhole plan recognition, defined as the problem of inferring descriptions of high-level pl...
