During the lifetime of an application, the objects and bindings in a persistent store may require modification in order to fix bugs or incorporate changes. Two mechanisms, Octopus...
Many combinatorial (optimisation) problems have natural models based on, or including, set variables and set constraints. This was already known to the constraint programming commu...
In this paper some initialwork towards a new approach to qualitative reasoning under uncertainty is presented. This method is not only applicable to qualitative probabilistic reas...
We show that a number of recent definitions and constructions of fuzzy extractors are not adequate for multiple uses of the same fuzzy secret—a major shortcoming in the case of...
