The role of small devices in the emerging all-connected computer infrastructure is growing. So are the requirements that the application execution environments face. Portability, ...
Existing concurrency control algorithms do not well conform to various environments, in the performance perspective. Each algorithm has some assumption on the conflict characteris...
Abstract—Developing autonomous systems that patrol environments for detecting intruders is a topic of increasing relevance in security applications. An important aspect of these ...
Allocating scarce resources among agents to maximize global utility is, in general, computationally challenging. We focus on problems where resources enable agents to execute acti...
In this paper, a market-based decomposition method for decomposable linear systems is developed. The solution process iterates between a master problem that solves the market-matc...
