A utility-based adaptivity model for mobile applications
(2007)
Mobile environments are characterized by resource fluctuations and limitations, and variations in user preferences. Therefore mobile applications need to be adaptive to retain usability, usefulness and reliability. In our ...
A general framework for argumentation-based negotiation
(2008)
This paper proposes a unified and general framework for argumentation-based negotiation, in which the role of argumentation is formally analyzed. The framework makes it possible to study the outcomes of an argumentation-based ...
Making decisions through preference-based argumentation

Dynamic adaptive data structures for monitoring data streams
(2008)
The monitoring of data streams is a very important issue in many different areas. Aspects such as accuracy, the speed of response, the use of memory and the adaptability to the changing nature of data may vary in importance ...
Dynamic count filters
(2006)
Bloom filters are not able to handle deletes and inserts on multisets over time. This is important in many situations when streamed data evolve rapidly and change patterns frequently. Counting Bloom Filters (CBF) have been ...
