The ability to guarantee that a system will continue to operate correctly under degraded conditions is key to the success of adopting multi-agent systems (MAS) as a paradigm for d...
For in-network storage schemes, one maps data, indexed in a logical space, to the distributed sensor locations. When the physical sensor network has an irregular shape and possibl...
In distributed systems that use active replication to achieve robustness, it is important to efficiently enforce consistency among replicas. The nonblocking mode helps to speed u...
