Conventional concurrency control protocols are inapplicable in mobile computing environments due to a number of constraints of wireless communications. In this paper, we design a p...
In this paper we address the real-time capabilities of P-NET, which is a multi-master fieldbus standard based on a virtual token passing scheme. We show how P-NET's medium ac...
Conventional resource management systems use a system model to describe resources and a centralized scheduler to control their allocation. We argue that this paradigm does not ada...
We use a local search method we term Large Neighbourhood Search (LNS) for solving vehicle routing problems. LNS meshes well with constraint programming technology and is analogous...
This paper takes a known approach for scheduling and admission control in integrated services networks1 , the Priority Token Bank (PTB), whose mechanism and performance have been ...
