Peer-to-peer, or simply P2P, systems have recently emerged as a popular paradigm for building distributed applications. One key aspect of the P2P system design is the mechanism us...
This paper presents flexible protocols for dynamic database design and reconfiguration, enabling mobile database to be designed in such a way that data location, replication and e...
The problem of selecting the best system from a finite set of alternatives is considered from a Bayesian decision-theoretic perspective. The framework presented is quite general,...
A method for automatically improving the performance of construction operations was developed by the integration of computer simulation and belief networks. The simulation model i...
