: In this paper, functioning and interaction of distributed devices and concurrent algorithms are analyzed in the context of the theory of algorithms. Although different systems in...
This paper presents and evaluates a decision making framework that enables autonomous agents to dynamically select the mechanism they employ in order to coordinate their inter-rela...
Abstract-We study the well known linear consensus algorithm by means of a LQ-type performance cost. We want to understand how the communication topology influences this algorithm. ...
A model of honey bee social foraging is introduced to create an algorithm that solves a class of optimal resource allocation problems. We prove that if several such algorithms (&q...
Repair or error-recovery strategies are an important design issue in Spoken Dialogue Systems (SDSs) - how to conduct the dialogue when there is no progress (e.g. due to repeated A...
