This paper describes an approach to real-time decisionmaking for quality of service based scheduling of distributed asynchronous data replication. The proposed approach addresses ...
Byzantine consensus in asynchronous message-passing systems has been shown to require at least 3f + 1 processes to be solvable in several system models (e.g., with failure detecto...

— This paper considers a formal object-oriented model for distributed computing. Object orientation appears as a leading framework for concurrent and distributed systems. However...
According to the taxonomy for agent activity, proposed by V. Parunak, a collaboration is an interaction between agents of a multi-agent system (MAS) whereby the agents explicitly ...
