For Peer-2-Peer (P2P) networks to realize their full potential their nodes need to coordinate and cooperate, to improve the performance of the network as a whole. But this requires...
This paper presents a multiagent-system for integrating ALICE: a real-life, distributed, large-scale particle physics experiment of the LHC project at CERN. The work is concerned ...
In this paper we incorporate autonomous agents' capability to perform parallel interactions into the cooperative search model, resulting in a new method which outperforms the...
Abstract The advent of large-scale distributed systems poses unique engineering challenges. In open systems such as the internet it is not possible to prescribe the behaviour of al...
