Abstract. Engineering non-trivial open multi-agent systems is a challenging task. Our research focusses on situated multi-agent systems, i.e. systems in which agents are explicitly...
Most surveillance and monitoring systems nowadays utilize multiple types of sensors. However, due to the asynchrony among and diversity of sensors, information assimilation how to...
the extensibility and evolution of network services and protocols had become a major research issue in recent years. The 'programmable' and 'active' network par...
Omniscient debuggers make it possible to navigate backwards in time within a program execution trace, drastically improving the task of debugging complex applications. Still, they...
In this paper the Northrhine-Westphalian metacomputing initiative is described. We start by discussing various general aspects of metacomputing and explain the reasons for founding...
