Distributed load managers exhibit thrashing where tasks are repeatedly moved between locations due to incomplete global load information. This paper shows that systems of Autonomou...
There exist distributed scenarios in which the need for dynamism, mobility, and adaptivity, has to be addressed with highly dynamical approaches. These scenarios present different ...
This paper studies a logical framework for automated negotiation between two agents. We suppose an agent who has a knowledge base represented by a logic program. Then, we introduc...
Remotely executing mobile code introduces a plethora of security problems. This paper examines the “external agent replay” attack, identifies the notion of one-way program st...
Abstract. The ability to view extended logic programs as argumentation systems opens the way for the use of this language in formalizing communication among reasoning computing age...
