Both the logic and the stochastic analysis of discrete-state systems are hindered by the combinatorial growth of the state space underlying a high-level model. In this work, we con...
Sander, Young and Yung recently exhibited a protocol for computing on encrypted inputs, for functions computable in NC1 . In their variant of secure function evaluation, Bob (the &...
This paper presents a formalism to describe practical reasoning in terms of an Action-based Alternating Transition System (AATS). The starting point is a previously specified acc...
Electric energy consumed in data centers is rapidly growing. Power-aware IT, recently called `green IT', is widely recognized as a significant challenge. Disk storage is a no...
In the past, NLP has always been based on the explicit or implicit use of linguistic knowledge. In classical computer linguistic applications explicit rule based approaches prevai...
