The classical problem of reliable point-to-point digital communication is to achieve a low probability of error while keeping the rate high and the total power consumption small. ...
This paper presents a revised rate control scheme based on an improved frame complexity measure. Rate control adopted by both MPEG-4 VM18 and H.264/AVC use a quadratic rate-distor...
We define reactive simulatability for general asynchronous systems. Roughly, simulatability means that a real system implements an ideal system (specification) in a way that pre...
During activated states in vivo, neocortical neurons are subject to intense synaptic activity and high-amplitude membrane potential ðVmÞ fluctuations. These ‘‘high-conducta...

This paper formalizes the semantics of trust and studies the transitivity of trust. On the Web, people and software agents have to interact with “strangers”. This makes trust ...
