Supporting uninterrupted services for distributed soft real-time applications is hard in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, where processor or process failures and sys...
This paper considers the design of agent strategies for deciding whether to help other members of a group with whom an agent is engaged in a collaborative activity. Three characte...
Multi-hop relaying will play a central role in next generation wireless systems. In this paper a novel relaying strategy that uses multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relays in ...
The emergence of power as a first-class design constraint has fueled the proposal of a growing number of run-time power optimizations. Many of these optimizations trade-off power...
A top-k query retrieves the k highest scoring tuples from a data set with respect to a scoring function defined on the attributes of a tuple. The efficient evaluation of top-k q...
