We introduce a kind of partial observability to the projective simulation (PS) learning method. It is done by adding a belief projection operator and an observability parameter to the original framework of the efficiency of the PS model. I…
In this article, we study the optical response of a duplicated two-level atomic medium subjected to a stationary control field and a weak co-propagating probe field, orthogonally polarized to each other. We show that both the reflected and…
This study carries forward the line of enquiry that seeks to characterize precisely which security policies are enforceable by runtime monitors. In this regard, Basin et al.\ recently refined the structure that helps distinguish between…
The increase of astronomical data produced by a new generation of observational tools poses the need to distribute data and to bring computation close to the data. Trying to answer this need, we set up a federated data and computing…
In formal verification, runtime monitoring consists of observing the execution of a system in order to decide as quickly as possible whether or not it satisfies a given property. We consider monitoring in a distributed setting, for…
The increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions in large-scale infrastructure, particularly data centers, requires advanced control strategies to optimize environmental management systems. We propose a multi-agent architecture for…
