Modern web application recovery presents a critical dilemma. Coarse-grained snapshot rollbacks cause unacceptable data loss for legitimate users.

There are many established semantic Web standards for implementing multi-agent driven applications. The AJAN framework allows to engineer multi-agent systems based on these standards. In particular, agent knowledge is represented in RDF/RDFS and OWL, while agent behavior models are defined with Behavior Trees and SPARQL to access and manipulate this knowledge. However, the appropriate definition of RDF/RDFS and SPARQL-based agent behaviors still remains a major hurdle not only for agent modeler…

Convergence of Discrete Percolation Models to the Brownian Web Distance
The Brownian web is a collection of coalescing Brownian motions started from every space-time point in R2. The Brownian web can be constructed as a scaling limit of coalescing one-dimensional simple random walks started at every point in a two-dimensional space-time lattice. Veto and Virag (2023) introduced a family of discrete random distance functions defined on these sequences of rescaled lattices. It was shown that, given the appropriate notion of convergence, these discrete distance functi…
