—Layered streaming is an effective solution to address the receiver heterogeneity in peer-to-peer (P2P) multimedia distribution. This paper targets a fundamental challenge in thi...
An advanced communication system, the FlexRay system, has been developed for future automotive applications. It consists of time-triggered clusters, such as drive-by-wire in cars,...
Abstract. Distributed computing must adapt its techniques to networks of mobile agents. Indeed, we are facing new problems like the small size of memory and the lack of computation...
In this paper, we present ARF, our initial effort at solving taskallocation problems where cooperative agents need to perform tasks simultaneously. An example is multi-agent routi...
A multi-object operation incurs communication or synchronization overhead when the requested objects are distributed over different nodes. The object pair correlations (the probab...
