A collective of agents often needs to maximize a “world utility” function which rates the performance of an entire system, while subject to communication restrictions among th...
Multidimensional Analysis and On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) uses summary information that requires aggregate operations along one or more dimensions of numerical data value...
In this paper we propose a dynamic constraint transformation technique for ensuring timing requirements in a distributed real-time system possessing periodically synchronized dist...
The use of different High-level Petri net formalisms has made it possible to create Petri net models of large systems. Even though the use of such models allows the modeller to cr...
It is not uncommon for modern systems to be composed of a variety of interacting services, running across multiple machines in such a way that most developers do not really unders...
