Abstract: Since von Neumann's seminal work around 1950, computer scientists and others have studied the algorithms needed to support self-replicating systems. Much of this wor...
Self-organising systems are a popular engineering concept for designing decentralised autonomic computing systems. They are able to find solutions in complex and versatile problem ...
For many machine learning solutions to complex applications, there are significant performance advantages to decomposing the overall task into several simpler sequential stages, c...
In response to the expressed needs of MedModel users, PROMODEL Corporation has made substantial improvements in its MedModel healthcare simulation software. Beginning with its inc...
— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
