This paper discusses conditions under which some of the “higher level” mental concepts applicable to human beings might also be applicable to artificial agents. The key idea ...
In this paper, we propose the use of fine-grain process modelling as an aid to software development. We suggest the use of two levels of granularity, one at the level of the indiv...
It is well-known that an FDDI token ring network provides a guaranteed throughput for synchronous messages and a bounded medium access delay for each node/station. However, this f...
We give an algorithm that learns any monotone Boolean function f : {-1, 1}n {-1, 1} to any constant accuracy, under the uniform distribution, in time polynomial in n and in the de...
Abstract. Computer mobility allows people to use computers in varied and changing environments. This variability forces applications to adapt thus requiring awareness of the comput...
