This paper presents a concurrent object model based on distributed recursive sets for data intensive applications that use complex, recursive data layouts. The set abstraction is ...
This paper defines an approach to simulation of natural systems, inspired by complex systems theory. A complex natural system is modeled as a multi-agent simulation system, agents...
This paper discusses some modeling issues concerning the communication between goal-directed agents. In particular, the role of performatives in agent communication is discussed. I...
A reason to distribute constraint satisfaction is privacy: agents may not want to share their values, and they may wish to keep constraints as private as possible. In this paper, w...
By adapting to computations that are not so well supported by general-purpose processors, reconfigurable systems achieve significant increases in performance. Such computational sy...
