We define the notions of a canonical inference rule and a canonical constructive system in the framework of strict single-conclusion Gentzen-type systems (or, equivalently, natural...
This paper presents a mobile-agent framework for building and testing mobile computing applications. When a portable computing device is moved into and attached to a new network, t...
The intuition guiding the de…nition of computation has shifted over time, a process that is re‡ected in the changing formulations of the Church-Turing thesis. The theory of co...
This paper presents the binary flattenings of shapes, first as a connected operator suppressing particles or holes, second as an erosion in a particular lattice of shapes. Using t...
The computing resources in a volunteer computing system are highly diverse in terms of software and hardware type, speed, availability, reliability, network connectivity, and othe...
