Exponential algorithms, i.e. algorithms of complexity O(cn ) for some c > 1, seem to be unavoidable in the case of NP-complete problems (unless P=NP), especially if the problem ...
Abstract. We consider the question of how to establish and enforce communal policies for peer-to-peer (P2P) communities. Generally, members of each P2P community must conform to an...

Monadic least fixed point logic MLFP is a natural logic whose expressiveness lies between that of first-order logic FO and monadic second-order logic MSO. In this paper we take ...
Given that the global DNS system, especially at the higher root and top-levels, experiences significant query loads, we seek to answer the following questions: (1) How does the ch...
Programmers rely on the correctness of the tools in their programming environments. In the past, semanticists have studied the correctness of compilers and compiler analyses, which...
