Fuzzy Measures: Collectors of Entropies

2007
In the fuzzy setting we define a collector of entropies, which allows us to consider the reliability of observers. This leads to a system of functional equations. We are able to find the general solution of the system for collectors, which are compatible with a law of the kind "Inf" in [2]. Finally we give a class of solutions for a collector for which

GENERAL ENTROPY OF GENERAL MEASURES

International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, 2002
The concept of entropy is an important part of the theory of additive measures. In this paper, a definition of entropy is introduced for general (not necessarily additive) measures as the infinum of the Shannon entropies of "subordinate" additive measures. Several properties of the general entropy are discussed and proved.

Entropy Measurement of Concurrent Disorder

2020
There is an imminent demand to understand the relationship between correctness and performance to deliver highly scalable multiprocessor programs. The motivation for this relationship is that relaxed correctness conditions provide performance benefits by reducing contention on data structure hot spots.

Measuring Anonymity with Plausibilistic Entropy

2013 International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security, 2013
To prove that a certain protocol provides a certain security property (e.g. anonymity) one must first formally define that property in the context of a logical framework capable of expressing the relevant aspects of that protocol and then perform the actual inference steps (preferably automatically).

Formalization of Entropy Measures in HOL

2011
Information theory is widely used in a very broad class of scientific and engineering problems, including cryptography, neurobiology, quantum computing, plagiarism detection and other forms of data analysis. Despite the safety-critical nature of some of these applications, most of the information theoretic analysis is done using informal techniques and

Entropy as a measure of database information

[1990] Proceedings of the Sixth Annual Computer Security Applications Conference, 2002
An estimate of the information a database contains and the quantification of the vulnerability of that database to compromise by inferential methods is discussed. Such a measure could be used to evaluate the deterrent value of extant protection methods and provide a measure of the potential for inferential compromise through the use of one of the known

Measuring Anonymity with Relative Entropy

2007
Anonymity is the property of maintaining secret the identity of users performing a certain action. Anonymity protocols often use random mechanisms which can be described probabilistically. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic process calculus to describe protocols for ensuring anonymity, and we use the notion of relative entropy from information ...

Entropy Measures and Views of Information

2016
Among the countless papers written by Ronald R. Yager, those on Entropies and measures of information are considered, keeping in mind the notion of view of a set, in order to point out a similarity between the quantities introduced in various frameworks to evaluate a kind of entropy.
