This paper explores the increasing the heterogeneity of an agent population to stabilize decentralized systems by adding bias terms to each agent's expected payoffs. Two appr...
Software transactional memory (STM) guarantees that a transaction, consisting of a sequence of operations on the memory, appears to be executed atomically. In practice, it is impor...
The emphasis in microprocessor design has shifted from high performance, to a combination of high performance and low power. Until recently, this trend was mostly true for uniproc...
In the expanding e-society, mobile embedded systems are increasingly used to support transactions such as for banking, stock or database applications. Such systems entail a range o...
Abstract. Real-time main-memory databases are useful in real-time environments. They are often faster and provide more predictable execution of transactions than disk-based databas...
