Open systems are characterized by heterogeneous participants which can enter or leave the system at will. Typical examples are e-commerce applications or information agent systems...
Multiagent systems are rapidly finding applications in a variety of domains, including robotics, distributed control, telecommunications, and economics. The complexity of many task...
In this paper, we present COSMOS, a novel architecture for macroprogramming heterogeneous sensor network systems. Macroprogramming entails aggregate system behavior specification...
: When dealing with remote systems, it is desirable that these systems are capable of operation within acceptable levels with minimal control and maintenance. In terms or transmiss...
Each semiconductor technology generation brings us closer to the imminent processor architecture heat wall, with all its associated adverse effects on system performance and reliab...
