The application of probabilistic methods to another chapter of mathematics (number theory, different branches of analysis, graph theory etc .) has in the last 30 years often led to interesting results, which could not be obtained by the usual methods of the chapters in question . These results are in most cases of the following character : it is shown that in some sense "most" elements of a set...

Recent advances in experimental techniques have made it possible to generate an enormous amount of ‘raw’ biological data, with cancer biology being no exception. The main challenge faced by cancer biologists now is the generation of plausible hypotheses that can be evaluated against available data and/or validated through further experimentation. For persons trained in control theory, there is ...

This paper focuses on service clustering and uses service descriptions to construct probabilistic models for service clustering. We discuss how service descriptions can be enriched with machine-interpretable semantics and then we investigate how these service descriptions can be grouped in clusters in order to make discovery, ranking, and recommendation faster and more effective. We propose usi...

There are four parts: an introduction, a set of solutions to the Ramsey problem, some enumeration problems, and the Gyarfas-Lehel conjecture. Section

We present a compositional trace based model for proba bilistic systems The behavior of a system with probabilistic choice is a stochastic process namely a probability distribution on traces or bun dle Consequently the semantics of a systemwith both nondeterministic and probabilistic choice is a set of bundles The bundles of a composite system can be obtained by combining the bundles of the com...

A probabilistic procedure is suggested for the automatic correction of spelling and typing errors in printed English texts. The heart of the procedure is a probabilistic model for the generation of the garbled word from the correct word. The garbler can delete or insert symbols in the word or substitute one or more symbols by other symbols. An expression is derived for P(Y I X), the probability...
