The notion of application – a single, bounded piece of functionality presented to users – goes almost unquestioned. However in the context of highly adaptive and ambient system...
Abstract. The problem of self-optimization and adaptation in the context of customizable systems is becoming increasingly important with the emergence of complex software systems a...
We introduce the notion of adaptive trapdoor functions (ATDFs); roughly, ATDFs remain one-way even when the adversary is given access to an inversion oracle. Our main application ...
It is useful for an intelligent software agent to be able to adapt to new demands from an environment. Such adaptation can be viewed as a redesign problem; an agent has some origin...
Inspired by bacterial motility, we propose an algorithm for adaptation over networks with mobile nodes. The nodes have limited abilities and they are allowed to cooperate with the...
