This paper formalizes the semantics of trust and studies the transitivity of trust. On the Web, people and software agents have to interact with “strangers”. This makes trust ...
We explore fundamental performance limits of tracking a target in a two-dimensional field of binary proximity sensors, and design algorithms that attain those limits. In particul...
Understanding and managing the response time of web services is of key importance as dependence on the World Wide Web continues to grow. We present Remote Latency-based Management...
Scalable coordination is a key challenge in deployment of multiagent systems. Resource usage is one part of agent behavior which naturally lends itself to abstraction. CyberOrgs i...
Today, three different physical (PHY) layers for the IEEE 802.11 WLAN are available (802.11a/b/g); they all provide multi-rate capabilities. To achieve a high performance under v...
