Loosely coupled multi-agent systems are perceived as easier to plan for because they require less coordination between agent sub-plans. In this paper we set out to formalize this ...
Keyword-based search in relational databases allows users to discover relevant information without knowing the database schema or using complicated queries. However, such searches...
Modeling 3D objects and scenes is an important part of computer graphics. One approach to modeling is projecting binary patterns onto the scene in order to obtain correspondences ...
Gene networks describe functional pathways in a given cell or tissue, representing processes such as metabolism, gene expression regulation, and protein or RNA transport. Thus, le...
We propose a general cryptographic primitive called lossy trapdoor functions (lossy TDFs), and use it to develop new approaches for constructing several important cryptographic to...
