Constructive negation has been proved to be a valid alternative to negation as failure, especially when negation is required to have, in a sense, an `active' role. In this pa...
Applying results from partial difference sets, quadratic forms, and recent results of Brouwer and Van Dam, we construct the first known amorphic association scheme with negative La...
Modeling the beyond-topical aspects of relevance are currently gaining popularity in IR evaluation. For example, the discounted cumulated gain (DCG) measure implicitly models some...
The dependability of overlay services rely on the overlay network’s capabilities to effectively diagnose and recover faults (e.g., link failures, overlay node outages). However,...
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) are a well-established and rigorous framework for sequential decision-making under uncertainty. POMDPs are well-known to be...
