The direct application of standard ranking techniques to retrieve individual elements from a collection of XML documents often produces a result set in which the top ranks are dom...
Abstract. This paper proposes a new support vector machine (SVM) with a robust loss function for data mining. Its dual optimal formation is also constructed. A gradient based algor...

This paper proposes a functional ontology of reputation for agents. The goal of this ontology is twofold. First, to put together the broad knowledge about reputation produced in s...
We introduce a family of temporal logics to specify the behavior of systems with Zeno behaviors. We extend linear-time temporal logic LTL to authorize models admitting Zeno sequen...
