Abstract--In the network-centric computing era, applications often involve sets of autonomous, unpredictable, and possibly mobile entities interacting within open, dynamic, and pos...
We are concerned with the use of Mobile Agents for information retrieval. A multi-agent system is considered; a number of agents are involved in a collective effort to retrieve di...
Gang scheduling is considered to be a highly effective task scheduling policy for distributed systems. In this paper we present a migration scheme which reduces the fragmentation ...
The vulnerable air interface, device level constraints, and insecure encryption techniques of wireless networks have naturally increased the chance of attacker obtaining users inf...
Abstract—Message progression schemes that enable communication and computation to be overlapped have the potential to improve the performance of parallel applications. With curre...
