Abstract. Small-world networks are currently present in many distributed applications and can be built augmenting a base network with long-range links using a probability distribut...
Boosting constructs a weighted classifier out of possibly weak learners by successively concentrating on those patterns harder to classify. While giving excellent results in many ...
This paper formalizes the semantics of trust and studies the transitivity of trust. On the Web, people and software agents have to interact with “strangers”. This makes trust ...
We present a new pointer analysis for use in shared memory programs running on hierarchical parallel machines. The analysis is motivated by the partitioned global address space lan...
When spatial objects are replicated at several sites in the network, the updates of a long transaction in a specific site should be propagated to the other sites for maintaining th...
