When a program uses Software Transactional Memory (STM) to synchronize accesses to shared memory, the performance often depends on which STM implementation is used. Implementation...
We present actorNet, a mobile agent platform for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs are well-suited to multiagent systems: agent autonomy reduces the need for communication, sa...
