Financial Intermediation and Delegated Monitoring
- Review of Economic Studies
, 1984
"... This paper develops a theory of financial intermediation based on minimizing the cost of monitoring information which is useful for resolving incentive problems between borrowers and lenders. It presents a characterization of the costs of providing incentives for delegated monitoring by a financial ..."

Performance comparison of two on-demand routing protocols for ad hoc networks
, 2000
"... Ad hoc networks are characterized by multihop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols. We compare the performance of two prominent ondemand routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks — Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Ho ..."

Query Answering in Inconsistent Databases
, 2003
"... In this chapter, we summarize the research on querying inconsistent databases we have been conducting over the last five years. The formal framework we have used is based on two concepts: repair and consistent query answer. We describe different approaches to the issue of computing consistent query ..."

An assumption-based truth-maintenance system
- Artificial Intelligence
, 1986
"... In this paper we (1) define the concept of a Clause Man-agetnent System (CMS) — a generaizatiou of de Kleer’s ATMS, (2) motivate such systems in terms of efficiency of search and abductive reasoning, and (3) characterize the computation affected by a CMS in terms of the concept of prime implicants. ..."

Distributed Optimization by Ant Colonies
, 1991
"... Ants colonies exhibit very interesting behaviours: even if a single ant only has simple capabilities, the behaviour of a whole ant colony is highly structured. This is the result of coordinated interactions. But, as communication possibilities among ants are very limited, interactions must be based ..."

A quantitative comparison of graph-based models for internet topology
- IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING
, 1997
"... Graphs are commonly used to model the topological structure of internetworks, to study problems ranging from routing to resource reservation. A variety of graphs are found in the literature, including fixed topologies such as rings or stars, "well-known" topologies such as the ARPAnet, and ..."

, and randomly generated topologies. While many researchers rely upon graphs for analytic and simulation studies, there has been little analysis of the implications of using a particular model, or how the graph generation method may a ect the results of such studies. Further, the selection of one generation

Property-based Software Engineering Measurement
- IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
, 1996
"... Little theory exists in the field of software system measurement. Concepts such as complexity, coupling, cohesion or even size are very often subject to interpretation and appear to have inconsistent definitions in the literature. As a consequence, there is little guidance provided to the analyst at ..."

Memory for goals: an activation-based model
, 2002
"... Goal-directed cognition is often discussed in terms of specialized memory structures like the "goal stack." The goal-activation model presented here analyzes goal-directed cognition in terms of the general memory constructs of activation and associative priming. The model embodies three pr ..."

Theory of Generalized Annotated Logic Programming and its Applications
- Journal of Logic Programming
, 1992
"... Annotated logics were introduced in [43] and later studied in [5, 7, 31, 32]. In [31], annotations were extended to allow variables and functions, and it was argued that such logics can be used to provide a formal semantics for rule-based expert systems with uncertainty. In this paper we continue to ..."

. As an interesting by-product of this investigation, we obtain a new result concerning multivalued logic programming: a model theory for Fitting's bilattice-based logic programming, which until now has not been characterized model-theoretically. This is accompanied by a corresponding proof theory. 1
