This paper attempts to de ne an object-oriented database system. It describes the main features and characteristics that a system must have to qualify as an objectoriented databas...
Abstract. We establish a framework for bounding the efficiency of cryptographic reductions in terms of their security transfer. While efficiency bounds for the reductions have been...
While there has been much work on developing frameworks and models of norms and normative systems, consideration of the impact of norms on the practical reasoning of agents has at...
Interactions between agents in an open system such as the Internet require a significant degree of flexibility. A crucial aspect of the development of such methods is the notion o...
While cryptographic algorithms are usually strong against mathematical attacks, their practical implementation, both in software and in hardware, opens the door to side-channel at...
