We consider the effect of network throughput on the convergence of a specific class of distributed averaging algorithms, called consensus algorithms. These algorithms rely on itera...
Abstract--This paper is focusing on exact Bayesian reasoning in systems of agents, which represent weakly coupled processing modules supporting collaborative inference through mess...
There are two reasons for parallelizing a metaheuristic if one is interested in performance: (i) given a fixed time to search, the aim is to increase the quality of the solutions f...
We describe an incomplete but sound and efficient livelock freedom test for infinite state asynchronous reactive systems. The method s a system into a set of simple control flow cy...
Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) defines software tools and technology to support groups of people working together on a project, often at different sites [5]. In this wo...
