Proportional Conflict Redistribution Rules for Information Fusion

In this paper we propose five versions of a Proportional Conflict Redistribution rule (PCR) for information fusion together with several examples. From PCR1 to PCR2, PCR3, PCR4, PCR5 one increases the complexity of the rules and also the exactitude of the redistribution of conflicting masses. PCR1 restricted from the hyper-power set to the power set and without degenerate cases gives the same r...

Conflict-Based Selection of Branching Rules

We propose an adaptive framework for branching rule selection that is based on a set of branching rules. Each branching rule is attached a preference value that is dynamically adapted with respect to conflict analysis. Thus, our approach brings together two essential features of modern SAT algorithms which were traditionally independent from each other. Experimental results show the feasibility...

Content Switch Rules and Their Conflict Detection

Content switch can be configured as load balancer, firewall, spam mail filter, and virus detection and removal system, by specifying a set of rules. In this paper we present our content switch rule design for a Linux-based content switch, and show how they are translated and downloaded into the switch for packet processing. One common problem in specifying rules for content switches or policy-b...

How Digital Economics Revises Antitrust Thinking.PDF

1 Antitrust thinking and enforcement have traditionally been firmly grounded in conventional economic models of monopoly and oligopoly market structures, all fully and inevitably constrained by the " laws " of demand and decreasing returns. The new economics of " digits, " encompassing those goods (like software, books, and music) that are capable of being reduced to 1's and 0's (meaning electr...
