— Cellular Automata (CAs) have been investigated extensively as abstract models of the distributed systems composed of autonomous entities characterized by local interaction. How...
This paper introduces a model for Distributed Employee Timetabling Problems (DisETPs) and proposes a general architecture for solving DisETPs by using a Multi Agent System (MAS) pa...
Traditionally, qualitative simulation uses a global, state-based representation to describe the behavior of the modeled system. For larger, more complex systems this representatio...
Many users and applications require the integration of semi-structured data from autonomous, heterogeneous Web sources. Over the last years mediator systems have emerged that use d...
Bitwise operations are commonly used in low-level systems code to access multiple data fields that have been packed into a single word. Program analysis tools that reason about s...
