Scalability and extended lifetime are two critical design goals of any large scale wireless sensor network. A two-tiered network model has been proposed recently for this purpose....
Programs are fragile for many reasons, including software errors, partial failures, and network problems. One way to make software more robust is to design it from the start as a ...
Recent studies have shown that, in highly associative caches, the performance gap between the Least Recently Used (LRU) and the theoretical optimal replacement algorithms is large,...
A major research challenge in multi-agent systems is the problem of partitioning a set of agents into mutually disjoint coalitions, such that the overall performance of the system...
