In this paper, we present a formal analysis of the constraints of the scheduling problem, and evaluate the structure of the scheduling polytope described by those constraints. Pol...
The challenge we address is to reason about projected resource usage within a hierarchical task execution framework in order to improve agent effectiveness. Specifically, we seek ...
Consider a dynamic, large-scale communication infrastructure (e.g., the Internet) where nodes (e.g., in a peer to peer system) can communicate only with nodes whose id (e.g., IP a...
Coalition formation is a key topic in multi–agent systems (mas). Coalitions enable agents to achieve goals that they may not have been able to achieve independently, and encoura...
We describe a new automatic static analysis for determining upper-bound functions on the use of quantitative resources for strict, higher-order, polymorphic, recursive programs de...
