In this paper we investigate distributed computation in dynamic networks in which the network topology changes from round to round. We consider a worst-case model in which the com...
In the era of knowledge economy, more and more people view online communities of practice (CoPs) as wellspring of precious knowledge. Notably, many researchers support the notion ...
We develop a model of normative systems in which agents are assumed to have multiple goals of increasing priority, and investigate the computational complexity and game theoretic ...
—We present the Hermite radial basis function (HRBF) implicits method to compute a global implicit function which interpolates scattered multivariate Hermite data (unstructured p...
We revisit the classical chase procedure, studying its properties as well as its applicability to standard database problems. We settle (in the negative) the open problem of decid...
