We present a deadlock avoidance algorithm for distributed systems that guarantees liveness. Deadlock avoidance in distributed systems is a hard problem and general solutions are c...
We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...
We present a multi-dimensional, multi-step negotiation mechanism for task allocation among cooperative agents based on distributed search. This mechanism uses marginal utility gai...
