We study a new class of decentralized algorithms for discrete optimization via simulation, which is inspired by the fictitious play algorithm applied to games with identical inte...
By allowing end hosts to make independent routing decisions at the application level, different overlay networks may unintentionally interfere with each other. This paper describes...
—The availability of optical network infrastructure and appropriate user control software has recently made it possible for scientists to establish end-to-end circuits across mul...
This paper proposes a new approach for tackling the uncertainty and imprecision of the service evaluation process. Identifying suitable service offers, evaluating the offers and c...
The fundamental relations that underlie cognitive comparisons--"same" and "different"--can be demultiple levels of abstraction, which vary in relational comple...
