In open multi-agent systems agents need resources provided by other agents but they are not aware of which agents provide the particular resources. Most solutions to this problem ...
Clusters and distributed systems offer fault tolerance and high performance through load sharing, and are thus attractive in real-time applications. When all computers are up and ...
Abstract. The functional performance model (FPM) of heterogeneous processors has proven to be more realistic than the traditional models because it integrates many important featur...
Multi-agent based simulation (MABS) is a discrete event simulation technique used to study complex systems with entities having social and autonomous behavior. MABS applications a...
The emergence of mobile ad hoc sensor networks has brought new challenges to traditional network design. This paper focuses on the study at the application layer. In specific, it...
