Abstract. Open systems are becoming increasingly important in a variety of distributed, networked computer applications. Their characteristics, such as agent diversity, heterogenei...
This paper addresses distributed task allocation in complex scenarios modeled using the distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP) formalism. We propose and evaluate a nov...

Recent technology trends in the Web Services (WS) domain indicate that a solution eliminating the presumed complexity of the WS-* standards may be in sight: advocates of REpresent...
This paper takes the next step in developing the theory of average case complexity initiated by Leonid A Levin. Previous works Levin 84, Gurevich 87, Venkatesan and Levin 88] have...
Abstract. The modularity of Service-oriented Architectures (SOA) allows to establish complex distributed systems comprising e.g., services, clients, brokers, and workflow engines. ...
