Abstract. Hierarchical and recursive state machines are suitable abstract models for many software systems. In this paper we extend a model recently introduced in literature, by al...

We consider the general on-line two server problem in which at each step both servers receive a request, which is a point in a metric space. One of the servers has to be moved to i...
A special class of oracle circuits with tree-vector form is introduced. It is shown that they can be evaluated in deterministic polynomial-time with a polylog number of adaptive qu...
Many protocols are designed to operate correctly even in the case where the underlying communication medium is faulty. To capture the behaviour of such protocols, lossy channel sy...
We are given a set of jobs each has a processing time, a non-negative weight, a set of possible time intervals in which it can be processed and a cost. The goal is to schedule a f...
We study the behavioural theory of Cardelli and Gordon’s Mobile Ambients. We give an lts based operational semantics, and a labelled bisimulation based equivalence that coincide...
We prove lower bounds for the direct sum problem for two-party bounded error randomised multipleround communication protocols. Our proofs use the notion of information cost of a p...
Although evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are widely used in practical optimization, their theoretical analysis is still in its infancy. Up to now results on the (expected) runtime ar...
