We consider an extension of integer linear arithmetic with a "star" operator takes closure under vector addition of the solution set of a linear arithmetic subformula. We...
Finite-state controllers represent an effective action selection mechanisms widely used in domains such as video-games and mobile robotics. In contrast to the policies obtained fr...
Pairing based cryptography is a new public key cryptographic scheme. An elliptic curve suitable for pairing based cryptography is called a “pairing-friendly” elliptic curve. Af...
When non-unique values are used as the identifier of entities, due to their homonym, confusion can occur. In particular, when (part of) “names” of entities are used as their ...
