With standard assumptions the routing and wavelength assignment problem (RWA) can be viewed as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). The problem, however, defies an exact solution bec...
—A firewall is a security guard placed between a private network and the outside Internet that monitors all incoming and outgoing packets. The function of a firewall is to exam...
Distributed Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems (Distributed POMDPs) are evolving as a popular approach for modeling multiagent systems, and many different algorithms ha...
We introduce the concept, model, and policy-specific algorithms for inferring new access control decisions from previous ones. Our secondary and approximate authorization model (...
Distributed systems generally require their component parts to interact cooperatively, in order for the system as a whole to function effectively. For any given activity, several ...
