This work introduces a novel approach to display and arbitration of machine to machine abstract argumentation for Internet of Things devices, which does not require human intervention. The proposed model is a hybrid between weighted Dung style argumentation frameworks and competitive facility placement Voronoi games. It can accommodate weights of arguments and attack relations to depict weighte...

We investigate the economics of internet of things (IoT). An economic model of IoT consists of end users, advertisers and three different kinds of providers. We model different kinds of interaction among the providers as a combination of sequential and parallel non-cooperative games. We characterize the equilibrium pricing strategy and payoff of providers and corresponding demands of end users ...

We study computational complexity of two-dimensional compressed pattern matching problems. Among other things, we design an eecient randomized algorithm for the equality problem of two compressed two-dimensional patterns as well as prove computational hardness of the general two-dimensional compressed pattern matching .

PLEASE NOTE: Contracts exclude from coverage, among other things, services or procedures that are considered investigational or cosmetic. Providers may bill members for services or procedures that are considered investigational or cosmetic. Providers are encouraged to inform members before rendering such services that the members are likely to be financially responsible for the cost of these se...

The president of the Blue Cross Association of America thinks, among other things, that the National Health Service should have 'hospital managers' and an interrelation of its 'private' and 'public' sectors. A review of his contribution to a book suggesting radical remedies.

We analyze the quantitative structure of 0 2. Among other things, we prove that a set is Turing complete if and only if its lower cone is nonnegligible, and that the sets of r.e.-degree form a small subset of 0 2 .

Abstract. Recent work has shown that the study of supercharacters on abelian groups provides a natural framework within which to study certain exponential sums of interest in number theory. Our aim here is to initiate the study of Gaussian periods from this novel perspective. Among other things, our approach reveals that these classical objects display dazzling visual patterns of great complexi...

A novel multicomponent reaction allowing for a one-pot formation of three carbon-carbon bonds has been developed. It is based on in situ generation and anionic dimerization of methylenedithiane and produces a versatile synthetic equivalent of 4-hydroxy-1,3-alkanediones which, among other things, offers expeditious one-pot access to 3(2H)-furanones.
