Abstract—We are developing a concurrent, agent-based approach to complex systems simulation as part of the CoSMoS project. In such simulations an agent’s behaviour can typicall...
Wide-area replication improves the availability and performance of globally distributed data repositories. Protocols needed for maintaining replication consistency may cause an un...
Cloud storage is an emerging infrastructure that offers Platforms as a Service (PaaS). On such platforms, storage and compute power are adjusted dynamically, and therefore it is i...
This paper addresses the issue of policy evaluation in Markov Decision Processes, using linear function approximation. It provides a unified view of algorithms such as TD(), LSTD()...
The Mariposa distributed data manager uses an economic model for managing the allocation of both storage objects and queries to servers. In this paper, we present extensions to th...
