— With increasing reliability concerns for current and next generation VLSI technologies, fault-tolerance is fast becoming an integral part of system-on-chip (SoC) and multicore ...
Caching techniques have been used to improve the performance gap of storage hierarchies in computing systems. In data intensive applications that access large data files over wid...
A fundamental task in multi-agent systems is matchmaking, which is to retrieve and classify service descriptions of agents that (best) match a given service request. Several approa...
The aim of this work is the design of a framework for the revision of knowledge in abductive reasoning agents, based on interaction. We address issues such as: how to exploit knowl...
Wide-area distribution raises significant performance problems for traditional query processing techniques as data access becomes less predictable due to link congestion, load imb...
