In a multi-agent system (MAS), the agents are often considered to be autonomous entities, such as robots or software programs, each under the influence of a local rule, representin...
Abstract— Families of differential operators, like those defining affine, generally nonlinear, control systems are known to have natural Hopf algebra structures. These provide ...
Abstract. With the help of distributed hash tables, the structured peerto-peer system has a short routing path and good extensibility. However, the mismatch between the overlay and...
Abstract. Access control is a system-wide concern that has both a generic nature and an application dependent characteristic. It is generic as many functions must be protected with...
Pervasive computing environments have created a requirement for spatial- and temporal-aware access control systems. Although temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal role-based acces...
