Current consumer electronics devices do not interoperate and are hard to use. Devices use proprietary, device-specific and inflexible protocols. Resources across device classes, s...
This paper presents a simple, hybrid two phase global optimization algorithm called DE-PSO for solving global optimization problems. DE-PSO consists of alternating phases of Diffe...
In the development of agent applications, interactions are an important issue, which must be faced with appropriate methodologies and tools. A separation of concerns between the a...
Frequent constraint violations on the data stored in a database may suggest that the semantics of the represented reality is changing. In this work we propose a methodology and a t...
- We describe an integrated model of the hardware and the battery sub-systems in batterypowered VLSI systems. We demonstrate that, under this model and for a fixed operating voltag...
