Uncertain and complex environments demand that an agent be able to anticipate the actions of others in order to avoid resource conflicts with them and to realize its goals. Confli...
A key challenge in achieving high performance on software DSM systems is overcoming their relatively large communication latencies. In this paper, we consider two techniques which...
How should we design visual presentations to explain how a complex system works? One promising approach involves multimedia presentation of explanations in visual and verbal format...
One of the promises of parallelized discrete-event simulation is that it might provide significant speedups over sequential simulation. In reality, high performance cannot be achi...
