Autonomic Computing is a promising new concept in system development. It aims to (i) increase reliability by designing systems to be self-protecting and self-healing; and (ii) inc...
We establish the eventual periodicity of the spectrum of any monadic second-order formula where (i) all relation symbols, except equality, are unary, and (ii) there is only one fu...
This paper reports our efforts on developing a language modeling approach to passage question answering. In particular, we address the following two problems: (i) generalized lang...
How will a virus propagate in a real network? Does an epidemic threshold exist for a finite powerlaw graph, or any finite graph? How long does it take to disinfect a network giv...

Abstract. We propose two differential geometric representations of planar shapes using: (i) direction functions and (ii) curvature functions, of their boundaries. Under either rep...
