Programmable, intelligent surfaces can manipulate electromagnetic waves impinging upon them, producing arbitrarily shaped reflection, refraction and diffraction, to the benefit of wireless users. Moreover, in their recent ...

This paper presents a new model of agency, called the KGP (Knowledge, Goals and Plan) model. This draws from the classic BDI model and proposes a hierarchical agent architecture with a highly modular structure that synthesises ...

Context: EMF metamodels lie at the heart of model-based approaches for a variety of tasks, notably for defining the abstract syntax of modeling languages. The language design of EMF metamodels itself is part of a design ...

Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) are increasingly being used to disseminate data in today's Internet. The growing interest in CDNs is motivated by a common problem across disciplines: how does one reduce the load on ...

Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes are powerful error correcting codes used today in communication standards such as DVB-S2 and WiMAX to transmit data inside noisy channels with high error probability. LDPC decoding is ...

We present an approach for solving some of the problems of top-down Inductive Logic Programming systems when learning multiple predicates. The approach is based on an algorithm for learning abductive logic programs. Abduction ...
