This paper discusses some modeling issues concerning the communication between goal-directed agents. In particular, the role of performatives in agent communication is discussed. I...
— The inductive characteristics of several types of gridded power distribution networks are described in this paper. The inductance extraction program FastHenry is used to evalua...
We present several locking synchronization protocols and associated schedulability conditions for Pfair-scheduled multiprocessor systems. We focus on two classes of protocols. The...
This paper addresses constraint solving over continuous domains in the context of decision making, and discusses the trade-off between precision in the definition of the solution s...
One of the crucial elements in the Internet’s success is its ability to adequately control congestion. This paper defines and solves several optimization problems related to In...
