      An abstract channel specification and an algorithm implementing it using Java sockets 

      Georgiou, Chryssis; Shvartsman, A. A.; Musiał, Peter M.; Sonderegger, E. L. (2008)
      Models and specifications can be used in the design of distributed applications to formally reason about their safety properties. However, the benefits of using formal methods are often negated by the ad hoc process of ...

      Capacity of Binary State Symmetric Channel with and without feedback and transmission cost 

      Kourtellaris, C. K.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
      We consider a unit memory channel, called Binary State Symmetric Channel (BSSC), in which the channel state is the modulo2 addition of the current channel input and the previous channel output. We derive closed form ...

      The d-identifying codes problem for vertex identification in graphs: Probabilistic analysis and an approximation algorithm 

      Xiao, Y.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Thulasiraman, K. (2006)
      Given a graph G(V, E), the identifying codes problem is to find the smallest set of vertices D ⊆ V such that no two vertices in V are adjacent to the same set of vertices in D. The identifying codes problem has been applied ...

      Directed information on abstract spaces: Properties and extremum problems 

      Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Stavrou, P. A. (2012)
      This paper describes a framework in which directed information is defined on abstract spaces. The framework is employed to derive properties of directed information such as convexity, concavity, lower semicontinuity, by ...

      Evaluating the use of ADLs in component-based development 

      Papadopoulos, George Angelos (2008)
      In this paper we evaluate the use of software architectures in the development of component-based systems. The evaluation is based on the level of support provided by the software architectures formal representatives, ...

      Extremum problems of directed information 

      Stavrou, Photios A. (Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Πολυτεχνική Σχολή / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Engineering, 2016-05)
      Τα κλασσικά μέτρα θεωρίας της πληροφορίας που χρησιμοποιούνται για τον υπολογισμό της χωρητικότητας του καναλιού και της συμπίεσης της πληροφορίας με απώλειες, ορίζονται μέσω της αμοιβαίας πληροφορίας. Για επικοινωνιακά ...

      Feedback does not increase the capacity of compound channels with additive noise 

      Loyka, S.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
      A discrete compound channel with memory is considered, where no stationarity, ergodicity or information stability is required, and where the uncertainty set can be arbitrary. When the discrete noise is additive but otherwise ...

      Flexible agent dialogue strategies and societal communication protocols 

      Kakas, Antonis C.; Maudet, N.; Moraïtis, Pavlos (2004)
      We propose an argumentation-based framework for representing communication theories of agents that can take into account dialogue strategies and society protocols in a way that facilitates their modular development and ...

      A general formula for compound channel capacity 

      Loyka, S.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
      A general formula for the capacity of arbitrary compound channels, which are not necessarily ergodic, stationary or information-stable, is obtained using the information density approach. A direct (constructive) proof is ...

      Information structures of capacity achieving distribution for channels with memory and feedback 

      Kourtellaris, C. K.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
      The information structures of the optimal channel input distributions P[0,n] t {PAi|Ai-1,Bi-1 : i = 0,1.,n}, which correspond to the extremum problem of feedback capacity equation are identified, for any class of channel ...

      Information theoretic bounds for compound MIMO Gaussian channels 

      Denic, S. Z.; Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Djouadi, S. M. (2009)
      In this paper, achievable rates for compound Gaussian multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channels are derived. Two types of channels, modeled in the frequency domain, are considered when: 1) the channel frequency response ...
