Abstract This study discusses how representational democracy is related to the issues of community wellbeing in that political promises are contested process election campaigns. Under premises many largely reflect issue wellbeing, we seek enhance understanding styles representative impact by comparing aspects single-member (SMD) and multimember districts (MMD) Japan case. Among questions consid...

Population protocols are networks of finite-state agents, interacting randomly, and updating their state using simple rules. Despite their extreme simplicity, these systems have been shown to cooperatively perform complex computational tasks, such as simulating register machines to compute standard arithmetic functions. The election of a unique leader agent is a key requirement in such computat...

This paper compares the expressiveness of different fragments of ambient calculi via leader election problems. We consider Mobile Ambients (MA), Safe Ambients (SA) and the Push and Pull Ambient Calculus (PAC). Cardelli and Gordon encoded the asynchronous pi-calculus into MA. Zimmer has shown that the synchronous pi-calculus without choice can be encoded in pure (no communication) SA. We show th...

In this paper, we assess the role of policies aimed at regulating the number and age structure of elections on the size and age structure of five European Academies of Sciences. We show the recent pace of ageing and the degree of variation in policies across them and discuss the implications of different policies on the size and age structure of academies. We also illustrate the potential effec...

In Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), resources are limited and valuable. Battery power is a sensitive resource, it is limited due to the relatively small size of the mobile nodes. Managing this limited resource with the current battery manufacturing techniques is a key challenge in MANET environment. In order to achieve scalability in MANET, hierarchical solutions are adopted like the cluster-base...

A new voting procedure for electing committees, called the minimax procedure, is described. Based on approval voting (AV), it chooses the committee that minimizes the maximum “Hamming distance” to all voters (minimax outcome). Such an outcome may be diametrically opposed to the outcome obtained from aggregating votes in the usual manner, which minimizes the sum of the Hamming distances to all v...

This paper is concerned with the computational aspects of approval voting and some of its variants, with a particular focus on the complexity of problems that model various ways of tampering with the outcome of an election: manipulation, control, and bribery. For example, in control settings, the election’s chair seeks to alter the outcome of an election via control actions such as adding/delet...

Now welcome, the most inspiring book today from a very professional writer in the world, evaluation of electronic voting requirements and evaluation procedures to support responsible election authorities lecture notes in business information processing. This is the book that many people in the world waiting for to publish. After the announced of this book, the book lovers are really curious to ...
