Based on the FOCUS theory of distributed systems (see [Broy, Stølen 01]) that are composed of interacting components we introduce a formal model of services and layered architectu...
Two of the most commonly used models in computational learning theory are the distribution-free model in which examples are chosen from a fixed but arbitrary distribution, and the ...
