This paper describes a framework for collaboration between a user and a multi-agent system to achieve adjustable autonomy. Adjustable autonomy (AA) is when the levels of autonomy ...
In recent years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the use of data-centric distributed systems such as global grid infrastructures, sensor networks, network monitoring, and vari...
We propose in this paper a heuristic for mapping a set of interacting tasks of a parallel application onto a heterogeneous computing platform such as a computational grid. Our nov...
Abstract. This paper argues that the driving task exhibits the properties of complex systems. Driving behavior emerges from the intricate and complex interactions between the drive...
In order to supply a growing tissue with oxygen and nutrients and to remove its metabolic wastes, blood vessels penetrating the tissue are formed. Multiple mechanisms are involved ...
