Writing concurrent programs is difficult because of the complexity of ensuring proper synchronization. Conventional lock-based synchronization suffers from wellknown limitations, ...
In a system proposed by Plaxton, Rajaraman and Richa (PRR), the expected cost of accessing a replicated object was proved to be asymptotically optimal for a static set of nodes an...
The distributed constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general formalisation used to represent problems in distributed multiagent systems. To deal with realistic problems, mult...
The design of external index structures for one- and multidimensional extended objects is a long and well studied subject in basic database research. Today, more and more commercia...
We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
