We initiate the study of probabilistic parallel programs with dynamic process creation and synchronisation. To this end, we introduce probabilistic split-join systems (pSJSs), a mo...
Two of the most important threads of work in knowledge representation today are frame-based representation systems (FRS's) and Bayesian networks (BNs). FRS's provide an ...
We present an incipient implementation of a programming language that allows programming of realtime applications distributed over a network. We have several goals in mind: First,...
In this paper, a Role-based Access Control (RBAC) model is applied and extended to a multimedia version called Multi-Role Based Access Control (MRBAC), which can fully support the...
In this paper, we propose a framework for QualityDriven Delivery (QDD) in distributed multimedia environments. Quality-driven delivery refers to the capacity of a system to delive...
