As object-oriented class libraries evolve, classes are occasionally deprecated in favor of others with roughly the same functionality. In Java’s standard libraries, for example,...
A distributed data-stream architecture finds application in sensor networks for monitoring environment and activities. In such a network, large numbers of sensors deliver continu...

Merging operators aim at defining the beliefs/goals of a group of agents from the beliefs/goals of each member of the group. Whenever an agent of the group has preferences over t...
In recent years, several architectures have been proposed and developed for supporting streaming applications that take advantage of multiple paths through the network simultaneou...
