This paper presents an applicable model for complex multiattribute negotiations between autonomous agents. The model adopts a novel protocol which decomposes the original n-dimens...
Abstract. In the quest for tractable methods for reasoning about concurrent algorithms both rely/guarantee logic and separation logic have made great advances. They both seek to ta...
: The concept of natural neighbors employs the notion of distance to define local neighborhoods in discrete data. Especially when querying and accessing large scale data, it is im...
Abstract. We investigate the following very simple load-balancing algorithm on the N-cycle (N even) which we call Odd-Even Transposition Balancing (OETB). The edges of the cycle ar...
A grid has to provide strong incentive for participating sites to join and stay in it. Participating sites are concerned with the performance improvement brought by the gird for th...
