The concept of an agent has recently become important in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and its relatively youthful subfield, Distributed AI (DAI). Our aim in this paper is to poin...
Portable embedded systems are being driven by consumer demands to be thermally efficient, perform faster, and have longer battery life. To design such a system, various hardware un...
An increasingly important trend in the engineering of complex systems is the design of component integration standards. Such standards de ne rules of interaction and shared commun...
In this paper we present an approach to performance estimation for hard real-time systems. We consider architectures consisting of multiple processors. The scheduling policy is ba...
Being exposed to well-written code is a valuable experience for students -- especially when the code is larger or more complex than they are currently capable of writing. In addit...
