Argumentation is a reasoning model based on the construction and evaluation of arguments. Dung has proposed an abstract argumentation framework in which arguments are assumed to have the same strength. This assumption is unfortunately not realistic. Consequently, three main extensions of the framework have been proposed in the literature. The basic idea is that if an argument is stronger than i...

The optimistic variants of MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control) avoid blocking concurrent transactions at the cost of having a validation phase. Upon failure in the validation phase, the transaction is usually aborted and restarted from scratch. The “abort and restart” approach becomes a performance bottleneck for the use cases with high contention objects or long running transactions. In a...

When developing code, a programmer typically knows the approximate structure of the desired expression. However, often the first attempt at writing it down results in an ill-typed code fragment. We propose an approach that automatically repairs code expressions based on the provided almost-correct code. Such a code repair can be applied in interactive scenarios like advanced code completion, as...

This paper presents our study on the privacy issues associated with the practice of repairing broken digital objects in the context of a developing country. Historically, the studies in Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and related disciplines have focused on the design, development, and use of technologies. This has made repair a...

objectives: composite repair is a minimally invasive and conservative approach. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of an additional hydrophobic resin layer on the repair shear bond strength of a silorane-based composite repaired with silorane or methacrylate-based composite. materials and methods: sixty bar-shaped composite blocks were fabricated and stored in saline for 72 hours. the surf...
