The paper consists of two major parts. In the first part, we re-examine relative -approximations, previously studied in [12, 13, 18, 25], and their relation to certain geometric p...
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) has emerged as a useful technique for multiagent coordination. While previous DCOP work focuses on optimizing a single team objective, i...
A high-level security policy states an overall requirement for a sensitive task. One example of a high-level security policy is a separation of duty policy, which requires a sensi...
We introduce the notion of resiliency policies in the context of access control systems. Such policies require an access control system to be resilient to the absence of users. An...
This paper characterizes the polynomial time learnability of TPk, the class of collections of at most k rst-order terms. A collection in TPk denes the union of the languages den...
