Database outsourcing requires that a query server constructs a proof of result correctness, which can be verified by the client using the data owner's signature. Previous aut...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are controllable discrete event systems with stochastic transitions. Performances of an MDP are evaluated by a payoff function. The controller of ...
Abstract. We consider the problem of refinement checking for asynchronous processes where refinement corresponds to stutter-closed language inclusion. Since an efficient algorithmi...
Three dependent users are physically separated but communicate with each other via a satellite. Each user generates data which it stores locally. In addition, each user sends a me...
The analysis of online least squares estimation is at the heart of many stochastic sequential decision-making problems. We employ tools from the self-normalized processes to provi...
