The study of random instances of NP complete and coNP complete problems has had much impact on our understanding of the nature of hard problems. In this work, we initiate an effor...
The maximum intersection problem for a matroid and a greedoid, given by polynomialtime oracles, is shown NP-hard by expressing the satisfiability of boolean formulas in 3-conjunct...
One of the major limitations of relational learning is due to the complexity of verifying hypotheses on examples. In this paper we investigate this task in light of recent publishe...
We propose the role-and-relation-based access control (R2 BAC) model for workflow systems. In R2 BAC, in addition to a user's role memberships, the user's relationships w...
When agents are acting together, they may need a simple mechanism to decide on joint actions. One possibility is to have the agents express their preferences in the form of a ballo...
