A comfort zone is a tested region of a system’s input space within which it has been observed to behave acceptably. To keep systems operating within their comfort zones, we advo...
Modern operating systems primarily use Discretionary Access Control (DAC) to protect files and other operating system resources. DAC mechanisms are more user-friendly than Mandat...
Most former studies of Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DisCOPs) search considered only complete search algorithms, which are practical only for relatively small prob...
There are a number of technologies designed to improve modularity in software systems. The technique presented here combines two of them seamlessly to exploit their respective ben...
Multi-agent systems are widely used to address large-scale distributed combinatorial applications in the real world. One such application is meeting scheduling (MS), which is de...
