We present a computational study of an auction-based method for decentralized train scheduling. The method is well suited to the natural information and control structure of moder...
Suppose that a program makes a sequence of m accesses (references) to data blocks, the cache can hold k < m blocks, an access to a block in the cache incurs one time unit, and ...
The design of external index structures for one- and multidimensional extended objects is a long and well studied subject in basic database research. Today, more and more commercia...
Viruses remain a significant threat to modern networked computer systems. Despite the best efforts of those who develop anti-virus systems, new viruses and new types of virus that...
: In modern organisations the monolithic information systems of the past are being gradually replaced by networked systems, enabling distributed computing often based on multi-agen...
