In past massively parallel processing systems, such as the TMC CM-5 and the CRI T3E, the scheduling problem consisted of allocating a single type of resource among the waiting job...
Optimal resource scheduling in multiagent systems is a computationally challenging task, particularly when the values of resources are not additive. We consider the combinatorial ...

We consider the problem of scheduling tasks with unpredictable service times on distinct processing nodes so as to meet a real-time deadline, given that all communication among no...
Researchers in the eld of Distributed Arti cial Intelligence (DAI) have been developing e cient mechanisms to coordinate the activities of multiple autonomous agents. The need for...
