—This paper establishes a bridge between presheaf models for concurrency and the more operationally-informative world of event structures. It concentrates on a particular preshea...
Among the many attempts made to represent families of 2D shapes in a simpler way, the Medial Axis (MA) takes a prominent place. Its graphical representation is intuitively appealin...

We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
We consider semidefinite programming relaxations of the quadratic assignment problem, and show how to exploit group symmetry in the problem data. Thus we are able to compute the b...
A consistency protocol can be termed symmetric if all processors are treated identically when they access common resources. By contrast, asymmetric protocols usually assign a home...
