In this paper we propose a new probabilistic Fair Exchange Protocol which requires no central Trusted Third Party. Instead, it relies on a virtually distributed and decentralized Trusted Third Party which is formalized as a Guardian Angel: a kind of Observ ...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures are popular for tasks such as collaborative download, VoIP telephony, and backup. To maximize performance in the face of widely variable storage capacities and bandwidths, such systems typically need to shift work from poor ...
Typical tasks in signal processing may be done in simpler ways or more efficiently if the signals to analyze are represented in a proper way. This thesis deals with some algorithmic problems related to signal approximation, more precisely, in the novel fie ...
The secrecy problem for security protocols is the problem to decide whether or not a given security protocol has leaky runs. In this paper, the (initial) secrecy problem for bounded protocols with freshness check is shown to be NEXPTIME-complete. Relating ...
After implementing a motivational model of action selection applied to autonomous virtual humans inspired by models of animals' decision-making, the problem consists of testing it in good conditions for validation. Indeed this model has to respect the six ...
We revisit simultaneous diophantine approximation, a classical problem from the geometry of numbers which has many applications in algorithms and complexity. The input of the decision version of this problem consists of a rational vector \alpha, an error b ...
Protocols which solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed applications. While many protocols have been published, little has been done to analyze their performance. This paper represents a starting point for such ...
Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to detect unsolvability and is thus not suitable for highly constrained or overconstrained ...
The analysis and interpretation of perturbative modulated electron cyclotron heating (MECH) discharges for power deposition localization using different diagnostics, such as electron cyclotron emission (ECE) and soft x-ray (SXR) measurements, are presented ...
The paper describes estimation and control strategies for models with bounded data uncertainties. We shall refer to them as BDU estimation and BDU control methods, for brevity. They are based on constrained game-type formulations that allow the designer to ...
