Exploiting spatial locality is critical for a disk scheduler to achieve high throughput. Because of the high cost of disk head seeks and the non-preemptible nature of request serv...
This paper initiates the use of vector fields to design, optimize, and implement reactive schedules for safe cooperative robot patterns on planar graphs. We consider Automated Gui...
Abstract. Coordination is an essential technique in cooperative, distributed multiagent systems. However, sophisticated coordination strategies are not always cost-effective in all...
With the popularity of wireless devices and the increase of computing and storage resources, there are increasing interests in supporting mobile computing techniques. Particularly...
A deterministic server is shared by users with identical linear waiting costs, requesting jobs of arbitrary lengths. Shortest jobs are served first for efficiency. The server can...
