The elastic-mode formulation of the problem of minimizing a nonlinear function subject to equilibrium constraints has appealing local properties in that, for a finite value of the...
Abstract. It has been long recognized that the interference among concurrent wireless transmissions plays a crucial role in limiting the performance of wireless networks. Recently,...
A spatial computer is a distributed multi-agent system that is embedded in a geometric space. A key challenge is engineering local agent interaction rules that enable spatial comp...
The operation of global manufacturing network is challenging due to the complexity in product and information flow, diversity in sites, localization and processes and the informati...
In this paper we consider the problem of managing and exploiting schedules in an uncertain and distributed environment. We assume a team of collaborative agents, each responsible ...
