Abstract. Open systems are becoming increasingly important in a variety of distributed, networked computer applications. Their characteristics, such as agent diversity, heterogenei...
Most agent systems today are closed and static. That is, one uses Agent-Oriented Software Engineering techniques to build agent systems in which the set of agents is specified ahe...
High-performance computing faces considerable change as the Internet and the Grid mature. Applications that once were tightly-coupled and monolithic are now decentralized, with co...
