We explore the computational power of networks of small resource-limited mobile agents. We define two new models of computation based on pairwise interactions of finite-state ag...
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) feature notable characteristics in structure and traffic patterns that allow for efficient resource allocation. A strategy that exploits the underl...

Several agent-oriented methodologies have been proposed over the last few years. Unlike the object-oriented domain and unfortunately for designers, most of the time, each methodolo...

OLAP queries are typically heavy-weight and ad-hoc thus requiring high storage capacity and processing power. In this paper, we address this problem using a database cluster which...

Grids functionally combine globally distributed computers and information systems for creating a universal source of computing power and information. A key characteristic of grids ...
