Many mathematical models have been proposed to evaluate the execution performance of an application with and without checkpointing in the presence of failures. They assume that th...
A novel Hardware Assisted Top-Doc (HAT) component is disclosed. HAT is an optimized content indexing device based on a modified inverted index structure. HAT accommodates patterns...
—In a sensor network, data routing is tightly coupled to the needs of a sensing task, and hence the application semantics. This paper introduces the novel idea of information-dir...
We present an approach towards a formal dynamic semantics for UML using ASM. We aim to remain as close as possible to the standard definition of UML and to cover the operational pa...
Distributed problem solving by a multiagent system represents a promising approach to solving complex computational problems. However, many multiagent systems require certain degr...
