Abstract. The design of dynamic discrete-event systems calls for adequate modeling formalisms and tools to manage possible changes occurring during system's lifecycle. A commo...
—Virtualization offers the potential for cost-effective service provisioning. For service providers who make significant investments in new virtualized data centers in support of...
Many nonblocking algorithms have been proposed for shared queues. Previous studies indicate that link-based algorithms perform best. However, these algorithms have a memory manage...
The research on exception handling in Multi-Agent Systems has produced some advanced models to deal with `exceptional situations'. The expression `agent exception' is how...
Ontologies, as knowledge engineering tools, allow information to be modelled in ways resembling to those used by the human brain, and may be very useful in the context of personal...
