We introduce FTRepMI, a simple fault-tolerant protocol for providing sequential consistency amongst replicated objects in a grid, without using any centralized components. FTRepMI ...
Open multi-agent systems need to cope with the characteristics of the Internet, e.g., dynamic availability of computational resources, latency, and diversity of services. Large-sc...
