Multi-agent systems (MAS) provide a promising technology for addressing problems such as search and rescue missions, mine sweeping, and surveillance. These problems are a form of ...
Computational grids have not scaled effectively due to administrative hurdles to resource and user participation. Most production grids are essentially multi-site supercomputer ce...

Distributed-system observation tools require an efficient data structure to store and query the partial-order of execution. Such data structures typically use vector timestamps to...
User-perceived latency is recognized as the central performance problem in the Web. We systematically measure factors contributing to this latency, across several locations. Our s...
Conventional resource management systems use a system model to describe resources and a centralized scheduler to control their allocation. We argue that this paradigm does not ada...
