In this paper, we present an adaptive load diffusion operator to enable scalable processing of Multiway Windowed Stream Joins (MWSJs) using a cluster system. The load diffusion is...
Reasoning about others, as performed by agents in order to coordinate their behaviours with those of others, commonly involves forming and updating beliefs about hidden system pro...
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework targeting three important issues in the computation of quality and trust in decentralized systems. Specifically, our approach a...
