We address the problem of constructing multiagent systems by coordinating heterogeneous, autonomous agents, whose internal designs may not be fully known. A major application area...
Virtual Private Machines (VPM) provide a framework for Quality of Service (QoS) in CMP-based computer systems. VPMs incorporate microarchitecture mechanisms that allow shares of h...
Programmers and users of compute intensive scientific applications often do not want to (or even cannot) code load balancing and fault tolerance into their programs. The PBEAM syst...
Most work to date in parallel and distributed discrete event simulation is based on assigning precise time stamps to events, and time stamp order event processing. An alternative ...
Deployment of distributed applications on large systems, and especially on grid infrastructures, becomes a more and more complex task. Grid users spend a lot of time to prepare, in...
