A growing class of smartphone applications are tasking applications that run continuously, process data from sensors to determine the user’s context (such as location) and activ...

Crash and omission failures are common in service providers: a disk can break down or a link can fail anytime. In addition, the probability of a node failure increases with the num...
We use a decomposition approach to generate cooperative strategies for a class of multi-vehicle control problems. By introducing a set of tasks to be completed by the team of vehi...
The main advantage of distributed controlled robots and subsystems is the decentralized task execution by the system components. This way, properties for the design of flexible co...
Autonomous robots, such as robot office couriers, need navigation routines that support flexible task execution and effective action planning. This paper describes XFRMLEARN, a s...
EnCompass®1 , a web-enabled system for organizational process visualization, analysis, synthesis, and management, provides an interactive vehicle for understanding the influence ...
We present an integrated approach that provides fault tolerance and dynamic power management for a real-time task executing in an embedded system. Fault tolerance is achieved thro...
We consider the setting of multiple collaborative agents trying to complete a set of tasks as assigned by a centralized controller. We propose a scalable method called“Assignmen...
We introduce a new class of games, asynchronous congestion games (ACGs). In an ACG, each player has a task that can be carried out by any element of a set of resources, and each r...
The ability to detect and differentiate breakpoints during task execution is critical for enabling defer-to-breakpoint policies within interruption management. In this work, we ex...
