We study auction-like algorithms for the distributed allocation of tasks to cooperating agents. To reduce the team cost of sequential single-item auction algorithms, we generalize...

In collaboration architectures, a computer must perform both processing and transmission tasks. Intuitively, it seems that these independent tasks should be executed in concurrent ...
Because of privacy concerns, agents may not want to reveal information that could be of use in problem solving. As a result, there are potentially important tradeoffs between main...
Java's remote method invocation mechanism provides a number of features that extend the functionality of traditional client server-based distributed systems. However, there a...
WSBPEL [2] opens up the possibility of applying a range of formal techniques to the verification of Web service behaviors from two points of view: constraints between activities w...
