— During an emergency response, access to a reliable communication infrastructure is required to exchange accurate information in a timely manner. Various communication technolog...
In this research, we propose to use the discrete cosine transform to approximate the cumulative distributions of data cube cells' values. The cosine transform is known to have...
In this paper, we propose a policy gradient reinforcement learning algorithm to address transition-independent Dec-POMDPs. This approach aims at implicitly exploiting the locality...
A data structure is said to be persistent when any update operation returns a new structure without altering the old version. This paper introduces a new notion of persistence, cal...
In the context of FPGAs, system downgrade consists in preventing the update of the hardware configuration or in replaying an old bitstream. The objective can be to preclude a syst...
