Collaborating users need to move terabytes of data among their sites, often involving multiple protocols. This process is very fragile and involves considerable human involvement ...
Efficient hierarchical architectures for reconfigurable and adaptive multi-agent networks require dynamic cluster formation among the set of nodes (agents). In the absence of cen...
Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...
We present an index structure for managing weightedsequences in large databases. A weighted-sequence is defined as a two-dimensional structure where each element in the sequence i...
Routing is a black art in today's Internet. End users and ISPs alike have little control over how their packets are handled outside of their networks, stemming in part from l...
