— In Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs), the collaborative operation of sensors enables the distributed sensing of a physical phenomenon, while actors collect and process...
In the emerging next-generation transport networks, called intelligent optical transport networks, DWDM-based optical components like add-drop multiplexers and optical cross conne...
Variable-bandwidth servers (VBS) control process execution speed by allocating variable CPU bandwidth to processes. VBS enables temporal isolation of EDF-scheduled processes in th...

Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
Abstract Consider a situation where a group of agents wishes to share the costs of their joint actions, and needs to determine how to distribute the costs amongst themselves in a f...
