This paper describes an approach to real-time decisionmaking for quality of service based scheduling of distributed asynchronous data replication. The proposed approach addresses ...
Researchers in the eld of Distributed Arti cial Intelligence (DAI) have been developing e cient mechanisms to coordinate the activities of multiple autonomous agents. The need for...
Data aggregation plays an important role in the design of scalable systems, allowing the determination of meaningful system-wide properties to direct the execution of distributed a...
A network latency estimation scheme associates a "position" to every peer in a distributed network such that the latency between any two nodes can be accurately estimate...
Mature eXtreme programming (XP) teams are highly collaborative and self-organising. In previous studies, we have observed that these teams rely on two apparently simple mechanisms...
