Java programs perform many synchronization operations on data structures. Some of these synchronizations are unnecessary; in particular, if an object is reachable only by a single ...
Abstract— In WiFi networks, mobile nodes compete for accessing a shared channel by means of a random access protocol called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Although this...
—Consider the problem of a robot (learning mechanism or algorithm) attempting to locate a point on a line. The mechanism interacts with a random environment which essentially inf...
Decentralized POMDPs provide an expressive framework for sequential multi-agent decision making. Despite their high complexity, there has been significant progress in scaling up e...
Self-organizing multi-agent systems (MAS) use different mechanisms to mimic the adaptation exhibited by complex systems situated in unpredictable and dynamic environments. These m...
