In a Distributed Database System (DDBS), transactions on objects can be read requests or write requests in a random manner. The replication algorithm of objects critically affects...
Auctions are promising decentralized methods for teams of agents to allocate and re-allocate tasks among themselves in dynamic, partially known and time-constrained domains with p...
Abstract. Small, mobile devices without user interfaces, such as Bluetooth headsets, often need to communicate securely over wireless networks. Active attacks can only be prevented...
In distributed scenarios the robustness of a reputation mechanism depends on the data available for computation. Especially in ad-hoc networks the amount of available data is rest...
Multimedia and network processing applications make extensive use of subword data. Since registers are capable of holding a full data word, when a subword variable is assigned a r...
