We present a multi-dimensional, multi-step negotiation mechanism for task allocation among cooperative agents based on distributed search. This mechanism uses marginal utility gai...

Many new paradigms of parallel programming have emerged that compete with and complement the standard and well-established MPI model. Most notable, and successful, among these are...
Network structure construction and global state maintenance are expensive in large-scale, dynamic peer-to-peer (p2p) networks. With inherent topology independence and low state mai...
Wireless sensor networks consist of energy-constrained sensor nodes operating unattended in highly dynamic environments. In this paper, we advocate a systematic decentralized appro...
The Adaptive Parallelism Environment is introduced as a means of effectively utilizing MPP processing resources in a multi-programmed MIMD or distributed system. It achieves this...
