The Assumption-Based Truth Maintenance System (ATMS) is an important tool in A I . So far its wider use has been limited due to the enormous computational resources which it requi...
We begin by discussing causal independence models and generalize these models to causal interaction models. Causal interaction models are models that have independent mechanisms w...
In order to cooperate effectively with its peers, an agent must manipulate representations of the social structures in which it plays a part. The purpose of this paper is to inves...
What will it be like to work in the digital library of the future? We begin by browsing around an experimental digital library of the present, glancing at some collections and show...
In auction theory, agents are typically presumed to have perfect knowledge of their valuations. In practice, though, they may face barriers to this knowledge due to transaction co...
ct In this paper, we evaluate storage system alternatives for movies-on-demandvideo servers. We begin by characterizing the movies-on-demand workload. We brie y discuss performance...

This paper is an attempt to summarize the basic elements of the multiset theory. We begin by describing multisets and the operations between them, then we present hybrid sets and t...
We begin with pervasive ultrametricity due to high dimensionality and/or spatial sparsity. How extent or degree of ultrametricity can be quantified leads us to the discussion of va...
The ability to retrieve molecules based on structural similarity has use in many applications, from disease diagnosis and treatment to drug discovery and design. In this paper, we...

While a variety of mechanisms have been developed for securing individual intra-domain protocols, none address the issue in a holistic manner. We develop a unified framework to sec...
