Integrating contributions received from other agents is an essential activity in multi-agent systems (MASs). Not only must related contributions be integrated together, but the co...
For memory constrained environments like embedded systems, optimization for program size is often as important, if not more important, as optimization for execution speed. Commonl...
We define CWS, a non-preemptive scheduling policy for workloads with correlated job sizes. CWS tackles the scheduling problem by inferring the expected sizes of upcoming jobs bas...
Assigning tasks to agents is complex, especially in highly dynamic environments. Typical protocol-based approaches for task assignment such as Contract Net have proven their value...
In biometric identification, a fingerprint is typically represented as a set of minutiae which are 2D points. A method [4] to protect the fingerprint template hides the minutiae b...
