—“Autonomic systems” merge advancements in the field of multi-agent software design, dynamic analysis, and decentralized control in order to assist designers in constructing...
In this paper we investigate distributed computation in dynamic networks in which the network topology changes from round to round. We consider a worst-case model in which the com...
New insights have been gained recently into the interplay between complex network architectures and the collective dynamics of simple elements coupled through them. The usual parad...
In this paper, we present a MAC-Iayer packet scheduling algorithm called BPA, for real-time switched Ethernet networks. BPA considers a message model where trans-node application-...
of abstraction and coarse granularity and distributed communication control. Focusing on using probabilistic metrics such as average values or variance to quantify design objective...
