Methods for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOP) have emerged as key techniques for distributed reasoning. Yet, their application faces significant hurdles...
Many complex, real world phenomena are difficult to study directly using controlled experiments. Instead, the use of computer simulations has become commonplace as a feasible alte...
Abstract— Ensuring the security of computers is a nontrivial task, with many techniques used by malicious users to compromise these systems. In recent years a new threat has emer...
Abstract. This paper shows that we can take advantage of information about the probabilities of the occurrences of events, when this information is available, to refine the classic...
Instant messaging (IM) has become increasingly popular due to its quick response time, its ease of use, and possibility of multitasking. It is estimated that there are several mil...
