The number of communication rounds is a classic complexity measure for protocols; reducing round complexity is a major goal in protocol design. However, when the communication time...
Abstract. We consider the question of adaptive security for two related cryptographic primitives: all-or-nothing transforms and exposureresilient functions. Both are concerned with...
We describe an approach based upon software process technology to on-the-fly monitoring, redeployment, reconfiguration, and in general dynamic adaptation of distributed software ap...
Adaptation/personalization is one of the main issues for web applications and require large repositories. Creating adaptive web applications from these repositories requires to hav...
Most modern DBMS optimizers rely upon a cost model to choose the best query execution plan (QEP) for any given query. Cost estimates are heavily dependent upon the optimizer’s e...
