This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
Computational Grids potentially offer cheap large-scale high-performance systems, but are a very challenging architecture, being heterogeneous, shared and hierarchical. Rather tha...

Abstract. This paper considers the use of dependent types to capture information about dynamic resource usage in a static type system. Dependent types allow us to give (explicit) p...
When developping multi-agent systems (MAS) or models in the context of agent-based simulation (ABS), the tuning of the model constitutes a crucial step of the design process. Inde...
Abstract— We explore the problem of routing bandwidth guaranteed paths in wavelength-routed, WDM optical mesh networks. A WDM mesh network offers great flexibility in dynamicall...
