Making a truly useful massively multi-agent system is difficult since the actions of the full ensemble of agents cannot be controlled by designing just one agent. It is critical ...
Many complex real-time applications involve combined scheduling of hard and soft real-time tasks. In this paper, we propose a combined scheduling algorithm, called Emergency Algori...
Concurrency is one of the most important issues in system-level design. Interleaving among parallel processes can cause an extremely large number of different behaviors, making de...
With the shift towards chip multiprocessors (CMPs), exploiting and managing parallelism has become a central problem in computer systems. Many issues of parallelism management boi...
