Abstract: Since von Neumann's seminal work around 1950, computer scientists and others have studied the algorithms needed to support self-replicating systems. Much of this wor...
The increasing power of modern computers steadily opens up new application domains for advanced data processing such as engineering and knowledge-based applications. To meet their...
This paper presents J-MADeM, a multi-modal decision making mechanism to provide agents in a Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) with a market-based model for complex decision problems. J-MA...

In POPL 2002, Petrank and Rawitz showed a universal result-finding optimal data placement is not only NP-hard but also impossible to approximate within a constant factor if P = NP...
Consider a network in which a collection of source nodes maintain and periodically update data objects for a collection of sink nodes, each of which periodically accesses the data...
