A pervasive requirement of distributed systems is to deal with churn — change in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A high churn rate ca...
Abstract. Inspired by the recent advances in evolutionary biology, we have developed a self-organising, self-adaptable cellular system for multitask learning. The main aim of our p...
In this paper, we take an availability-centric view on quality of service (QoS) and propose a model and mechanisms for studying the effectiveness of realistic replication schemes ...
While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
Decentralized control of a cooperative multi-agent system is the problem faced by multiple decision-makers that share a common set of objectives. The decision-makers may be robots...
