There are many applications for Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC), but practical adoption is still an issue. One reason is that the business model of the application does not m...
Recently many large scale computer systems are built in order to meet the high storage and processing demands of compute and data-intensive applications. MapReduce is one of the mo...
Large scale / mega projects are lengthy complex endeavors that require significant planning by management, engineers and construction personnel to ensure the success of the projec...
The paper describes a simulation substrate that allows thinking agents to interact with a world. The world is simulated by standard discrete event simulation, but the timing of an...
Computational experiments have become an integral part of the scientific method, but reproducing, archiving, and querying them is still a challenge. The first barrier to a wider...
