Operating frequency of a pipelined circuit is determined by the delay of the slowest pipeline stage. However, under statistical delay variation in sub-100nm technology regime, the...
It is widely accepted in Distributed Artificial Intelligence that a crucial property of artificial agents is their autonomy. Whereas agent autonomy enables features of agent-base...
Abstract. Replication is a fundamental technique for increasing throughput and achieving fault tolerance in distributed data services. However, its implementation may induce signif...

Wireless sensor, actuator networks (WSANs) distinguish themselves from wireless sensor networks by the need to coordinate actuators' actions, real-time constraints on communi...
We present a method for fine grain QoS control of multimedia applications. This method takes as input an application software composed of actions parameterized by quality levels. ...
