This paper describes a novel approach to fault-tolerance in distributed object-based systems. It uses the fragmented-object model to integrate replication mechanisms into distribut...
We consider the problem of aggregation for uncertain and imprecise data. For such data, we define aggregation operators and use them to provide information on properties and patte...
Reliable broadcast can be a very useful primitive for many distributed applications, especially in the context of sensoractuator networks. Recently, the issue of reliable broadcas...
Establishing and maintaining cooperation is an enduring problem in multi-agent systems and, although several solutions exist, the increased use of online trading systems, peerto-p...
I present MOSES (meta-optimizing semantic evolutionary search), a new probabilistic modeling (estimation of distribution) approach to program evolution. Distributions are not esti...
