Almost every application of spreading activation is accompanied by its own set of often heuristic restrictions on the dynamics. We show that in constraint-free scenarios spreading...
Network “telescopes” that record packets sent to unused blocks of Internet address space have emerged as an important tool for observing Internet-scale events such as the spre...
—This work presents a closed-form expression for characterizing the spread of static worm-scanning strategies through a mean-field approximation. Our model can both accurately c...
Ontologies, as knowledge engineering tools, allow information to be modelled in ways resembling to those used by the human brain, and may be very useful in the context of personal...
