Thanks to the popularity of mobile devices a large number of location-based services (LBS) have emerged. While a large number of privacy-preserving solutions for LBS have been proposed, most of these solutions do not ...

Moral experts — people who presumably know more about moral issues than others — play an important role in giving advice to governments on how to deal with ethical questions through ethics committees. The existence of these ...

Closed-form analytical expressions are derived for the displacement field and corresponding stress state in two-layer cylinders subjected to pressure and thermal loading. Solutions are developed both for cylinders which ...

We prove that a selection of quality of information optimisation problems related to event detection in sensor networks are NP-hard.

A semi-analytical model for ultimate strength prediction of simply supported, rectangular, composite plates has been presented previously. The model is based on large deflection theory in combination with first order shear ...

Hierarchical models defined by means of directed, acyclic graphs are a power- ful and widely used tool for Bayesian analysis of problems of varying degrees of complexity. A simulation based method for model criticism in ...
