In this paper we examine some problems related to capturing the structure and the topic name space of learning content in the context of Topic Map authoring. We demonstrate that t...
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...
This paper describes a Simulated Student architecture designed to detect and avoid three situations that decrease the benefits of learning in collaboration. These are off-topic con...
This paper describes the verification module (the VipVerify Module) of the VipTool [4]. VipVerify allows to verify whether a given scenario is an execution of a system model, give...
An optimistic acknowledgment (opt-ack) is an acknowledgment sent by a misbehaving client for a data segment that it has not received. Whereas previous work has focused on opt-ack ...
