The problem investigated in this paper is the distribution of goals addressed to a group of rational agents. Those agents are characterized by their ability (i.e. what they can do...
This article deals with the compact representation of incomplete probabilistic knowledge which can be encountered in risk evaluation problems, for instance in environmental studie...
Abstract. We consider a formalisation of a notion of observer (or intruder) theories, commonly used in symbolic analysis of security protocols. An observer theory describes the kno...
The notion of Zero Knowledge Proofs (of knowledge) [ZKP] is central to cryptography; it provides a set of security properties that proved indispensable in concrete protocol design...
In a large distributed system it is often infeasible or even impossible to perform diagnosis using a single model of the whole system. Instead, several spatially distributed local...
