We consider a problem domain where coalitions of agents are formed in order to execute tasks. Each task is assigned at most one coalition of agents, and the coalition can be reorg...
Assigning tasks to agents is complex, especially in highly dynamic environments. Typical protocol-based approaches for task assignment such as Contract Net have proven their value...
Within two or three technology generations, processor architects will face a number of major challenges. Wire delays will become critical, and power considerations will temper the ...
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
Large highly distributed data sets are poorly supported by current query technologies. Applications such as endsystembased network management are characterized by data stored on l...
