The utility problem occurs when the cost of the acquired knowledge outweighs its bene ts. When the learner acquires control knowledge for speeding up a problem solver, the bene t ...
Designing component-based application that meets performance requirements remains a challenging problem, and usually requires a prototype to be constructed to benchmark performanc...
In Multi-agent based simulation (MABS) systems, computational models are built as multi-agent systems (MAS). Replication of these models can contribute to improve the reliability o...
We revisit the device-driver architecture supported by the majority of operating systems, where a driver is a passive object that does not have its own thread of control and is on...
Building software systems out of pre-fabricated components is a very attractive vision. Distributed Component Platforms (DCP) and their visual development environments bring this v...
