1 Electronic fair-exchange protocols have received significant attention from the research community in the recent past. In loose terms, the fair exchange problem is defined as at...
Designers of distributed systems often rely on replicas for increased robustness, scalability, and performance. Replicated server architectures require some technique to select a ...
Product Distribution (PD) theory is a new framework for controlling Multi-Agent Systems (MAS’s). First we review one motivation of PD theory, as the information-theoretic extens...
