With the prevalence of GPS-embedded mobile devices, enormous amounts of mobility data are being collected in the form of trajectory - a stream of (x,y,t) points. Such trajectories...
Developing multi-agent simulations seems to be rather straight forward, as active entities in the original correspond to active agents in the model. Thus plausible behaviors can be...
Atomicity is a desirable property that safeguards application consistency for service compositions. A service composition exhibiting this property could either complete or cancel ...
We build an analytical model for an application utilizing master-slave paradigm. In the model, only three architecture parameters are used: latency, bandwidth and flop rate. Instea...
We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
