Temporal patterns composed of symbolic intervals are commonly formulated with Allen's interval relations originating in temporal reasoning. This representation has severe dis...
This paper presents parallel algorithms for priority queue operations on a p-processor EREWPRAM. The algorithms are based on a new data structure, the Min-path Heap (MH), which is...
We offer a new formal criterion for agent-centric learning in multi-agent systems, that is, learning that maximizes one’s rewards in the presence of other agents who might also...
When packet filtering is used as a security mechanism, different routers may need to cooperate to enforce the desired security policy. It is difficult to ensure that they will d...
A task that suspends itself to wait for an I/O completion or to wait for an event from another node in distributed environments is called an I/O blocking task. In conventional har...
