Specification and Simulation of Multi-Agent Systems in CaseLP Nowadays software applications are characterized by a great complexity. It arises from the need of reusing existing components and properly integrating them. The distribution of the involved entities and their heterogeneity makes it very useful the adoption ...

Strict Archimedean t-Norms and t-Conorms as Universal Approximators In knowledge representation, when we have to use logical connectives, various continuous t-norms and t-conorms are used. In this paper, we show that every continuous t-norm and t-conorm can be approximated, to an arbitrary degree of accuracy, by a stri...

Active Storage for Large-Scale Data Mining and Multimedia The increasing performance and decreasing cost of processors and memory are causing system intelligence to move into peripherals from the CPU. Storage system designers are using this trend toward “excess ” compute power to perform more complex processing and opt...

Efficient OLAP Operations in SPatial Data Warehouses Abstract. Spatial databases store information about the position of individual objects in space. In many applications however, such as traffic supervision or mobile communications, only summarized data, like the number of cars in an area or phones serviced by a cell,...

Analog Neural Nets with Gaussian or other Common Noise Distributions cannot Recognize Arbitrary Regular Languages We consider recurrent analog neural nets where the output of each gate is subject to Gaussian noise, or any other common noise distribution that is nonzero on a large set. We show that many regular language...

Using Diagnosis to Learn Contextual Coordination Rules Knowing when and how to communicate and coordinate with other agents in a multi-agent system is an important efficiency and reliability question. Contextual rules governing this communication must be provided to the agent, or generated at runtime through environmen...

Declarative Semantics of Belief Queries in MLS Deductive Databases (Extended Abstract) A logic based language, called MultiLog, for multi level secure relational databases has recently been proposed. It has been shown that MultiLog is capable of capturing the notion of user belief, of ltering unwanted and \useless" inf...

Efficient Identification of Web Communities We dene a community on the web as a set of sites that have more links (in either direction) to members of the community than to non-members. Members of such a community can be eciently identied in a maximum ow / minimum cut framework, where the source is composed of known mem...

Partially labeled classification with Markov random walks To classify a large number of unlabeled examples we combine a limited number of labeled examples with a Markov random walk representation over the unlabeled examples. The random walk representation exploits any low dimensional structure in the data in a robust, ...
