- Optimal Dynamic XL Reinsurance
- The paper considers a risk process modeled as a compound Poisson process. We finds the optimal dynamic unlimited excess of loss reinsurance strategy to minimize infinite time ruin probability, and proves the existence of a smooth solution of the corresponding Hamilton- Jacobi-Bellman equation as well as a verification theorem. Numerical...

- Semantic-Enabled Agile Knowledge-Based e-Government
- This paper introduces SAKE (Semantic-enabled Agile Knowledge-based E-government), a STREP Project sponsored by the European Union starting March in 2006. The overall objective of SAKE is to specify, develop and deploy a holistic framework and supporting tools for an agile knowledge-based e-government that will be sufficiently flexible to adapt to...

- Specification Of Policies For Automatic Negotiations Of Web Services
- Market mechanisms provide an efficient institution for allocating service offers and requests. In doing so, negotiations between the market participants play a crucial role.
