Abstract. Using mobile agent systems, cooperative distributed applications that run over the Internet can be constructed flexibly. However, there are some problems: it is difficul...
Shared-memory multi-threaded programming is inherently more difficult than single-threaded programming. The main source of complexity is that, the threads of an application can in...
A novel approach to quality of service control in an active service network (application layer active network) is described. The approach makes use of a distributed genetic algori...
