Real life coordination problems are characterised by stochasticity and a lack of a priori knowledge about the interactions between agents. However, decentralised constraint optimisation problems (DCOPs), a widely adopted framework for modelling decentralised coordination tasks, assumes perfect knowledge of these factors, thus limiting its practical applicability. To address this shortcoming, we...

Over the last few years, a worryingly number of attacks against SSL/TLS and other secure channels have been discovered. Fortunately, at least from a defenders perspective, these attacks require an adversary capable of observing or manipulating network traffic. This prevented a wide and easy exploitation of these vulnerabilities. In contrast, we introduce HEIST, a set of techniques that allows u...

Non-playable characters (NPCs) play a crucial role in enhancing immersion video games. However, traditional NPC behaviors are often hard-coded using methods such as Finite State Machines, Decision and Behavior trees. This has few limitations; namely, it is quite difficult to implement complex cooperative secondly this makes easy for human players identify exploit patterns behavior. To overcome ...
