Replication is known to offer high availability in the presence of failures. This paper considers the case of a client making invocations on a group of replicated servers. It iden...
Decentralized Markov decision processes are frequently used to model cooperative multi-agent systems. In this paper, we identify a subclass of general DEC-MDPs that features regul...
In many multi-agent applications such as distributed sensor nets, a network of agents act collaboratively under uncertainty and local interactions. Networked Distributed POMDP (ND...
This paper proposes a D-algebra to compose decisions from multiple access control policies. Compared to other algebrabased approaches aimed at policy composition, D-algebra is the...
