System performance in multi-agent resource allocation systems can often improve if individual agents reduce their activity. Agents in such systems need a way to modulate their ind...

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a general framework for designing fully polynomial time approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems, in which more than one ob...
In today’s world, stream processing systems have become important, as applications like media broadcasting, sensor network monitoring and on-line data analysis increasingly rely...
— This paper presents a novel stochastic link-layer channel model for IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks. The model characterizes the variations of the channel service process in a non-...
This paper proposes a new variant of the task allocation problem, where the agents are connected in a social network and tasks arrive at the agents distributed over the network. W...
