Abstract— We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize an objective function that can be written as the sum of component functions, each of ...
Service coordination in domains involving temporal constraints and duration uncertainty has previously been solved with a greedy algorithm that attempts to satisfy service requests...
We propose a fully sequential indifference-zone selection procedure that is specifically for use within an optimization-via-simulation algorithm when simulation is costly, and par...
We present new methods to extend data reliability of disks in RAID systems for applications like long term data archival. The proposed solutions extend existing algorithms to detec...
We present Virtual Cord Protocol (VCP), a virtual relative position based routing protocol for sensor networks that also provides methods for data management as known from standar...
