Abstract. Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is currently attracting enormous attention. In P2P systems a very large number of autonomous computing nodes (the peers) pool together their ...
We present a technique for computing approximately optimal solutions to stochastic resource allocation problems modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). We exploit two key pro...

—In wireless sensor networks, in-network aggregation is the process of compressing locally the data gathered by the sensor nodes, so that only the compressed data travel across s...
Much of the research work on design patterns has primarily focused on discovering and documenting patterns. Design patterns promise early reuse benefits at the design stage. To rea...
In this paper, we propose the use of fine-grain process modelling as an aid to software development. We suggest the use of two levels of granularity, one at the level of the indiv...
