A new means of action selection via utility fusion is introduced as an alternative to both sensor fusion and command fusion. Distributed asynchronous behaviors indicate the utility...
In this paper we propose an analytical approach for estimating the reliability of a component-based software. This methodology assumes that the software components are heterogeneo...

Applications designed to execute on "computational grids" frequently require the simultaneous co-allocation of multiple resources in order to meet performance requiremen...
As computing models change, so too do the demands on storage. Distributed and virtualized systems introduce new vulnerabilities, assumptions, and performance requirements on disks...
