Collaborative applications provide a group of users with the facility to communicate and share data in a coordinate way. In this paper we propose a pattern system to design the ba...
An optimization can be specified as sequential compositions of predefined transformation primitives. For each primitive, we can define soundness conditions which guarantee that th...
Transparent system support for software fault tolerance reduces performance in general and precludes application-specific optimizations in particular. In contrast, explicit support...
Decision-theoretic models have become increasingly popular as a basis for solving agent and multiagent problems, due to their ability to quantify the complex uncertainty and prefe...
Mobility is a fundamental functionality of the next generation internet computing. How to support mobility for legacy codes, however, is still an issue of research. The key to sol...
