In this paper we study the degree of non-constant symmetric functions f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1, . . . , c}, where c ∈ N, when represented as polynomials over the real numbers. We s...
We consider the problem of e-Infrastructures that wish to reconcile the generality of their services with the bespoke requirements of diverse user communities. We motivate the requ...
