In this paper we propose a novel message-passing algorithm, the so-called Action-GDL, as an extension to the Generalized Distributive Law algorithm (GDL) [1] to efficiently solve...
Distributed Constraints Optimization (DCOP) is a powerful framework for representing and solving distributed combinatorial problems, where the variables of the problem are owned b...

Abstract. We introduce a new theoretical model of ad hoc mobile computing in which agents have severely restricted memory, highly unpredictable movement and no initial knowledge of...
Virtualization provides a vehicle to manage the available resources and enhance their utilization in network computing. System dynamics requires virtual machines be distributed an...
