We explore the computational power of networks of small resource-limited mobile agents. We define two new models of computation based on pairwise interactions of finite-state ag...
The widespread use of Grid technology and distributed compute power, with all its inherent benefits, will only be established if the use of that technology can be guaranteed effic...
A design pattern is a mechanism for encapsulating the knowledge of experienced designers into a re-usable artifact. Parallel design patterns reflect commonly occurring parallel co...
