Despite significant advances in the access control domain, requirements of new computational environments like web services still raise new challenges. Lack of appropriate method for specification of access control policies (ACPs), composition, verification and analysis of them have all made the access control in the composition of web services a complicated problem. In this paper, a new indepe...

Some architects struggle to choose the best form of how building meets ground and may benefit from a suggestion based on precedents. This paper presents novel proof concept workflow that enables machine learning (ML) automatically classify three-dimensional (3D) prototypes with respect formulating most appropriate building/ground relationship. Here, ML, branch artificial intelligence (AI), can ...

In this work, we consider the choice of a system suitable for the formulation of principles in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It is argued that an isolated system is a much better candidate than a system in contact with a bath. In other words, relaxation processes rather than stationary processes are more appropriate for the formulation of principles in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Arguing th...

Stories can be a powerful vehicle of persuasion. We typically use stories to link known events into coherent wholes. One way to establish coherence is to appeal to past examples, real or fictitious. These examples can be chosen and critiqued using legal case-based reasoning (CBR) techniques. In this paper, we apply these techniques to factual stories, assessing a story about the facts using pre...
