As agent systems are solving more and more complex tasks in increasingly challenging domains, the systems themselves are becoming more complex too, often compromising their adapti...
Recent research indicates that modern computer workloads (e.g. processing time of web requests) follow heavy-tailed distributions. In a heavy-tailed distribution there are a large...
This paper argues that a camera sensor network containing heterogeneous elements provides numerous benefits over traditional homogeneous sensor networks. We present the design an...
