Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized numerous fields, driving advancements in healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems. At the core of this revolution lies Deep Learning---algorithms that learn representations from data through computational layer ...
A multi-agent system consists of a collection of decision-making or learning agents subjected to streaming observations from some real-world phenomenon. The goal of the system is to solve some global learning or optimization problem in a distributed or dec ...
The very shallow geothermal potential (vSGP) is increasingly recognized as a viable resource for providing clean thermal energy in urban and rural areas. This is primarily due to its reliability, low-cost installation, easy maintenance, and little constrai ...
Cloud storage services, like Dropbox and Google Drive, have growing ecosystems of 3rd party apps that are designed to work with users’ cloud files. Such apps often request full access to users’ files, including files shared with collaborators. Hence, whene ...
This paper defines the problem of Scalable Secure computing in a Social network: we call it the S-3 problem. In short, nodes, directly reflecting on associated users, need to compute a symmetric function f : V-n -> U of their inputs in a set of constant si ...
As the Online Social Networks (OSNs) amass unprecedented amounts of personal information, the privacy concerns gain considerable attention from the community. Apart from privacy-enabling approaches for existing OSNs, a number of initiatives towards buildin ...
