Carbon nanotubes are often seen as the only alternative technology to silicon transistors. While they are the most likely short-term alternative, other longer-term alternatives sho...
Replicating data objects onto servers across a system can alleviate access delays. The selection of data objects and servers requires solving a constraint optimization problem, wh...
Abstract. In this note a general approach to designing distributed systems based on coupling existing software tools is presented and illustrated by two examples. Utilization of th...
We consider a multiagent system whose task is to aid componentcentered design by collaborative designers in a supply chain. In the earlier work, collaborative design networks are ...
Addressing the long term preservation issues associated with scientific data is a complex challenge compounded by: the scale and multidisciplinary nature of the problem; the wide ...
