Database system architectures are undergoing revolutionary changes. Most importantly, algorithms and data are being unified by integrating programming languages with the database ...
Commitment-modeled protocols enable flexible and robust interactions among agents. However, existing work has focused on features and capabilities of protocols without considerin...
Constrained path problems have to do with finding paths in graphs subject to constraints. One way of constraining the graph is by enforcing reachability on nodes. For instance, i...
