In this article, we describe a new architecture providing the access control service in both ATM and IPover-ATM networks. This architecture is based on agents distributed in netwo...
For the problem of online real-time scheduling of jobs on a single processor, previous work presents matching upper and lower bounds on the competitive ratio that can be achieved ...
We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...
Integrating multiple functions into one communication user agent can introduce many innovative communication services. For example, with networked appliance control, a user agent c...
Abstract. This paper analyses the robustness of self-organizing (engineered) systems to perturbations (faults or environmental changes). It considers that a self-organizing system ...
