Existing approaches to knowledge representation and reasoning in the context of open systems either deal with "objective" knowledge or with beliefs. In contrast, there ha...
—This paper proposes and uses multivariate methods as a tool to evaluate performances of the hardware of microcomputers using their performance data, speed and price. The evaluat...
Pervasive computing applications are tedious to develop because they combine a number of problems ranging from device heterogeneity, to middleware constraints, to lack of programm...

The last decade witnessed the extensive studies of algorithms for data streams. In this model, the input is given as a sequence of items passing only once or a few times, and we ar...
Essentially all work studying the round complexity of secure computation assumes broadcast as an atomic primitive. Protocols constructed under this assumption tend to have very poo...
