This paper describes a decentralized peer-to-peer model for building a Web crawler. Most of the current systems use a centralized client-server model, in which the crawl is done by...
In this paper, we study the problem of achieving efficient interaction in a distributed scheduling system whose scheduling agents may borrow resources from one another. Specifical...

Conventional resource management systems use a system model to describe resources and a centralized scheduler to control their allocation. We argue that this paradigm does not ada...
Abstract. Contemporary information systems struggle with the requirement to provide flexibility and process support while still enforcing some degree of control. Workflow managemen...
Multi-agent problem domains may require distributed algorithms for a variety of reasons: local sensors, limitations of communication, and availability of distributed computational...
