Many complex real-world decision problems, such as planning, contain an underlying constraint reasoning problem. The feasibility of a solution candidate then depends on the consis...
Applications running over peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have exploded since the late 1990s. Research is needed into many aspects of P2P. These include architecture, application func...
Grid computing systems are emerging as a computing infrastructure that will enable the use of wide-area network computing systems for a variety of challenging applications. One of ...
