—Efficient management of massive data sets is a key aspect in typical grid and e-science applications. To this end, the benefits of employing database technologies in such appl...
As the number of information in the Internet constantly increases and the complexity of systems rapidly grows, locating and manipulating complex data has become a difficult task. W...
— We describe decentralized algorithms by which a swarm of simple, independent, autonomous robots can build two-dimensional structures using square building blocks. These structu...
This paper proposes the requirements driven agent collaboration. This proposal assumes that there are plenty different service agents distributed in Internet. When a request for ...
— Robots that can interact naturally with humans require the integration and coordination of many different components with heavy computational demands. We argue that an architec...
