Dynamically reconfigurable logic is becoming an important design unit in SoC system. A method to make the reconfiguration management transparent to software applications is requir...
A partition of a set of n items is a grouping of the items into k disjoint classes of equal size. Any partition can be modeled as a graph: the items become the vertices of the grap...
We discuss a di cult optimization problem on a chess-board, requiring equal numbers of black and white queens to be placed on the board so that the white queens cannot attack the b...
The task of balancing dynamically generated work load occurs in a wide range of parallel and distributed applications. Diffusion based schemes, which belong to the class of nearest...
Negotiation is an important mechanism of coordination in multiagent systems. Contrary to early conceptualizations of negotiating agents, we believe that decisions regarding the neg...
