— Cellular Automata (CAs) have been investigated extensively as abstract models of the distributed systems composed of autonomous entities characterized by local interaction. How...
: The design and development of Internet applications, requiring dynamic and possibly mobile access to Internet resources, can take advantage of an approach based on autonomous mob...
We present a parallel data processor centered around a programming model of so called Parallelization Contracts (PACTs) and the scalable parallel execution engine Nephele [18]. Th...
Dynamic plan execution strategies allow an autonomous agent to respond to uncertainties while improving robustness and reducing the need for an overly conservative plan. Executive...
