In contrast to a large body of theoretical work on computer systems, distributed systems are not idealised constructions, unconstrained by physical world limitations. They must be...
Abstract. In Distributed Problem-solving (DPS) systems a group of purposefully designed computational agents interact and co-ordinate their activities so as to jointly achieve a gl...
Abstract— The ability to tag resources with uncontrolled metadata or “folksonomies” is often characterized as one of the central features of “Web 2.0” applications. Folks...
In this paper we prove the so-called "Meek Conjecture". In particular, we show that if a DAG H is an independence map of another DAG G, then there exists a finite sequen...
Recent studies have shown that various models can explain the emergence of complex networks, such as scale-free and small-world networks. This paper presents a different model to...
