Abstract-- This paper introduces a deterministic approximation algorithm with error guarantees for computing the probability of propositional formulas over discrete random variable...
We address privacy-preserving classification problem in a distributed system. Randomization has been the approach proposed to preserve privacy in such scenario. However, this appr...
Recently, the Network-Attached Secure Disk (NASD) model has become a more widely used technique for constructing large-scale storage systems. However, the security system proposed...
We propose a novel sequential decision approach to modeling ordinal ratings in collaborative filtering problems. The rating process is assumed to start from the lowest level, eva...
Some systems interact with their environment at physically distributed interfaces, called ports, and in testing such a system it is normal to place a tester at each port. Each test...
