Defence trees and CP-net (ceteris paribus network) are two useful approaches that can be used to help a system administrator to analyze a security scenario and to give him a model ...
— The Redundancy Allocation Problem (RAP) is a kind of reliability optimization problems. It involves the selection of components with appropriate levels of redundancy or reliabi...
Selection procedures are used in a variety of applications to select the best of a finite set of alternatives. ‘Best’ is defined with respect to the largest mean, but the me...
Mediator systems integrate distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous data sources, but their e ective use requires the solution of hard query optimization problems. This is usuall...
Our work presents a mechanism designed for the selection of the optimal information provider in a multi-agent, heterogeneous and unsupervised monitoring system. The selfadaptation...
