The Web frequently suffers from failures which affect the performance and consistency of applications run over it. An important fault-tolerance technique is the use of atomic tran...
Abstract. Finding optimal policies for general partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) is computationally difficult primarily due to the need to perform dynamic-pr...
This paper describes a method for controlling the behavior of mobile agent-system entities through the allocation of privileges. Privileges refer to policy rules that govern the a...
Energy consumption is a crucial factor in designing batteryoperated embedded and mobile systems. The memory system is a major contributor to the system energy in such environments...

We present a dynamic programming approach for the solution of first-order Markov decisions processes. This technique uses an MDP whose dynamics is represented in a variant of the ...
