This paper presents Jade, a language which allows a programmer to easily express dynamic coarse-grain parallelism. Starting with a sequential program, a programmer augments those ...
We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
Decentralized MDPs provide a powerful formal framework for planning in multi-agent systems, but the complexity of the model limits its usefulness. We study in this paper a class o...

Many internet and enterprise applications now not only use XML (eXtensible Markup Language) as a medium for communication but also for storing their data either temporarily for an...
In this paper we focus on the problem of making short and medium term forecasts of CPU availability on timeshared Unix systems. We evaluate the accuracy with which availability ca...
