Context-aware applications adapt their behavior depending on changes in their environment context. Programming such applications in a modular way requires to modularize the global ...
The algebraic models of computation for contextual nets that have been proposed in the literature either rely on a non-free monoid of objects, or introduce too many fictitious beh...
In the theory of graph rewriting, the use of coalescing rules, i.e., of rules which besides deleting and generating graph items, can coalesce some parts of the graph, turns out to...
We examine the problem of scheduling concurrent independent flows on multiple-disk I/O storage systems. Two models are considered: in the shared buffer model the memory buffer is ...
With the properties of autonomy, social ability, reactivity and pro-activeness, agents can be used to represent entities in distributed simulations, where fast and accurate decisi...
