In this paper we describe our recent use of genetic programming methods to automatically discover CA rule sets that produce self-replication of arbitrary given structures. Our init...
We present an object recognition system based on symbolic graphs with object corners as vertices and outlines as edges. Corners are determined in a robust way by a multiscale combi...
How to coordinate the processes in a complex component-based software system is a nontrivial issue. Many different coordination approaches exist, each with its own specific advanta...
We present an identity-based cryptosystem that features fully anonymous ciphertexts and hierarchical key delegation. We give a proof of security in the standard model, based on the...
