This paper investigates scheduling loosely coupled task-bundles in highly heterogeneous distributed systems. Two allocation quality metrics are used in pay-per-service distributed ...
— In this paper, scalable collaborative human-robot systems for information gathering applications are approached as a decentralized Bayesian sensor network problem. Humancompute...
