Selective dynamic compilation systems, typically driven by annotations that identify run-time constants, can achieve significant program speedups. However, manually inserting ann...
We hypothesize that a form of kernel-resident accesscontrol-based integrity protection can gain widespread acceptance in Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) environments provided that...
In implementations of non-standard database systems, large objects are often embedded within an aggregate of different types, i.e. a tuple. For a given size and access probabilit...
Multi-agent systems comprise multiple, deliberative agents embedded in and recreating patterns of interactions. Each agent’s execution consumes considerable storage and calculat...
Abstract. One of the reasons for attending to agent technology is the evergrowing complexity of information systems and the increasing difficulty to foresee and plan for all potent...
