— Inter-robot communication is essential if general purpose intelligent decentralized multiple-robot systems are to become a reality. Traditionally, explicit communication amongs...
— We present the Adaptive Group Notification (AGNO) scheme for efficiently contacting large peer populations in unstructured Peer-to-Peer networks. AGNO defines a novel implic...
The heterogeneity characterizing the systems populating the Ubiquitous Computing environment prevents their seamless interoperability. Heterogeneous protocols may be willing to coo...
Most network protocols are uni-modal: they employ a single set of algorithms that allows them to cope well only within a narrow range of operating conditions. This rigid design re...
Abstract. Fine-grained lock protocols should allow for highly concurrent transaction processing on XML document trees, which is addressed by the taDOM lock protocol family enabling...
