We develop an abstract framework that encompasses the key properties of bilinear groups of composite order that are required to construct secure pairing-based cryptosystems, and we...
Data mining can extract important knowledge from large data collections - but sometimes these collections are split among various parties. Privacy concerns may prevent the parties...
In this paper, we study a simple means for coordinating teams of simple agents. In particular, we study ant robots and how they can cover terrain once or repeatedly by leaving mar...

Conversations involving three or more agents often occur in multi-agent systems, for example in brokering and auction protocols typically used in e-commerce. For developing agents ...
