Making it easier to design interactions between agents and humans is essential for realizing multi-agent simulations of social phenomena such as group dynamics. To realize large-s...
Hybrid peer-to-peer architectures use special nodes to provide directory services for regions of the network (“regional directory services”). Hybrid peer-to-peer architectures...
The typical software engineering course consists of lectures in which concepts and theories are conveyed, along with a small “toy” software engineering project which attempts ...
Data-sharing scientific communities use storage systems as distributed data stores by replicating content. In such highly replicated environments, a particular dataset can reside ...
Abstract. Dependable distributed applications require flexible infrastructure support for controlled redundancy, replication, and recovery of components and services. However, mos...
