A concept of secret sharing scheme with the function of assignment is proposed. It provides great capabilities for many practical applications. In this scheme, the dealer can randomly assign one or more than one participant to get the secret at any time, but these participants can get nothing about ...

In networks, the stable path problem (SPP) usually results in oscillations in interdomain systems and may cause systems to become unstable. With the rapid development of internet technology, the occurrence of SPPs in interdomain systems has quite recently become a significant focus of research. A fr...

Powerful expressive ability of semantic information, to be easily computed and flexibility are basic features of digital product model (DPM). Using ontology and object-oriented principle (OOP) together to cope with problems in modeling is brought forward in this paper. The two are widely used and do...

The increased use of information technologies has led to more research on information technology/information system (IT/IS) adoption and decision-making behavior in small businesses to improve information utilization. This paper presents an extensive review of the literature on IT/IS adoption to ide...

We consider a wide range of non-convex regularized minimization problems, where the non-convex regularization term is composite with a linear function engaged in sparse learning. Recent theoretical investigations have demonstrated their superiority over their convex counterparts. The computational c...
