We determine the number of alternating parity sequences that are subsequences of an increasing m-tuple of integers. For this and other related counting problems we find formulas th...
A calculus is presented for the stepwise refinement of abstract information flow architectures. We give a mathematical model for information flow components based on relations bet...
The proposed approach works for any underlying secret sharing scheme. It is based on the concept of verification sets of participants, related to authorized set of participants. T...
Abstract. Physical database design tools rely on a DBA-provided workload to pick an "optimal" set of indexes and materialized views. Such an approach fails to capture sce...
Policy refinement is meant to derive lower-level policies from higher-level ones so that these more specific policies are better suited for use in different execution environments...
