Interaction protocols are specific, often standard, constraints on the behaviors of autonomous agents in a multiagent system. Protocols are essential to the functioning of open sys...
We propose an extension of functional logic languages that allows the definition of operations with patterns containing other defined operation symbols. Such “function patterns...
As the size and dimensionality of data sets increase, the task of feature selection has become increasingly important. In this paper we demonstrate how association rules can be us...
This paper introduces three new probabilistic encryption schemes using elliptic curves over rings. The cryptosystems are based on three specific trapdoor mechanisms allowing the r...
—Despite the proliferation of work on XML keyword query, it remains open to support keyword query over probabilistic XML data. Compared with traditional keyword search, it is far...
