This paper studies the important fault management issue with focus on the fast restoration mechanisms for Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks. In order to reduce the burst losse...
In this paper we describe the initial results of an investigation into the relationship between Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architectures. W...
The processing of k-NN queries has been studied extensively both in a centralized computing environment and in a structured P2P environment. However, the problem over an unstructur...

This paper establishes tight bounds on the best-case time-complexity of distributed atomic read/write storage implementations that tolerate worst-case conditions. We study asynchr...
Abstract. Algorithms for processing Structural Joins embody essential building blocks for XML query evaluation. Their design is a difficult task, because they have to satisfy many ...
