We present a unified framework for modeling and solving invariant point pattern matching problems. Invariant features are encoded as potentials in a probabilistic graphical model....
Security-critical systems are an important application area for formal methods. However, such systems often contain cryptographic subsystems. The natural definitions of these subsy...
Although evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are widely used in practical optimization, their theoretical analysis is still in its infancy. Up to now results on the (expected) runtime ar...
