Abstract. In this article we identify the general communication patterns of physical devices and define all interfaces and conflict resolution strategies that are present in any ...
In the Bayesian mixture modeling framework it is possible to infer the necessary number of components to model the data and therefore it is unnecessary to explicitly restrict the n...
The underlying model of distributed systems is that of loosely coupled components r running in parallel and communicating by message passing. Description, construction and evoluti...
Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...
We develop a novel framework for supporting e-Science applications that require streaming of information between sites. Using a Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) model, our framework inco...
