This paper proposes a new method for programming and controlling distributed tasks. Applications declare behavior patterns that are used to automatically predict and reserve resou...
In applications such as web-applications, e-commerce, and engine control, the demand for real-time data services has increased. In these applications, requests have to be processe...
—Many time-critical applications require predictable performance and tasks in these applications have deadlines to be met. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for no...
Coordinated behavior of mobile robots is an important emerging application area. Different coordinated behaviors can be achieved by assigning sets of control tasks, or strategies,...
