This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
Abstract— Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is a promising technique for battery-powered systems to conserve energy consumption. Most existing DVS algorithms assume information about...
Abstract-- The operational characteristics of integrated circuits based on nanoscale semiconductor technology are expected to be increasingly affected by variations in the manufact...
