We present a semantic caching approach for optimizing the performance of information mediators. A critical problem with information mediators, particularly those gathering and int...
This paper describes a new method for providingtransparent fault tolerance for parallel applications on a network of workstations. We have designed our method in the context of sh...
We introduce a novel case study in which a group of miniaturized robots screen an environment for undesirable agents, and destroy them. Because miniaturized robots are usually end...
Experimental analysis of networks of cooperative learning agents (to verify certain properties such as the system's stability) has been commonly used due to the complexity of...
This paper analyzes the worst-case efficiency ratio of falsename-proof combinatorial auction mechanisms. False-nameproofness generalizes strategy-proofness by assuming that a bidd...
