Abstract. In this paper we provide a full-scale evaluation of a cluster-based architecture for P2P IR, focusing on retrieval effectiveness. We observe that there is a significant ...
Abstract. Classical evolutionary algorithms have been extremely successful at solving certain problems. But they implement a very simple model of evolutionary biology that misses o...
In this paper we propose the notion of security-by-contract, a mobile contract that an application carries with itself. The key idea of the framework is that a digital signature sh...
Abstract. We introduce an extension of Hoare logic for call-by-value higherorder functions with ML-like local reference generation. Local references may be generated dynamically an...
Abstract. State-based systems and modal logics for reasoning about them often heterogeneously combine a number of features such as non-determinism and probabilities. Here, we show ...
