Object-oriented technologies are frequently used to design and implement distributed applications. Object replication is a well-established approach to increase the dependability f...
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are complex control systems that govern the interaction of genes, which ultimately control cellular processes at the protein level. GRNs can be ted...
This paper addresses the problem of distributed resource allocation in general fork and join processing networks. The problem is motivated by the complicated processing requiremen...

A detailed study on the design of decentralized Receding Horizon Control (RHC) schemes for decoupled systems is presented. An optimal control problem is formulated for a set of de...
Probabilistic planning problems are typically modeled as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). MDPs, while an otherwise expressive model, allow only for sequential, non-durative action...
