In this paper, we consider algorithms for distributed constraint optimisation problems (DCOPs). Using a potential game characterisation of DCOPs, we decompose six distributed DCOP...

Embedded system optimization typically considers objectives such as cost, timing, buffer sizes and power consumption. Robustness criteria, i.e. sensitivity of the system to variat...
— With the rise in complexity of modern systems, designers are spending a significant time on at the system level of abstraction. This paper introduces Model Algebra, a formalis...
Distributed systems today are very vulnerable to malicious attacks, either from insiders or outsiders. When an attacker controls a component of the system, he may steal some sensi...
Abstract—It is often claimed that future systems will necessarily be all-optical, because electronic devices are not fast enough to keep up with the increase in fiber capacity. ...
