A distributed problem solving approach to job shop scheduling is described in this paper. The approach views the system as an Organisation. Agents are assigned di erent roles and ...
We define TTD-MDPs, a novel class of Markov decision processes where the traditional goal of an agent is changed from finding an optimal trajectory through a state space to realiz...

Checkpointing is a commonly used approach to provide fault-tolerance and improve system dependability. However, using a constant and preconfigured checkpointing frequency may comp...
This paper proposes a new concurrent data structure, called parallel hash table, for synchronizing the access of multiple threads to resources stored in a shared buffer. We prove ...
This paper describes a computational model for deriving a decomposition of objects from laser rangefinder data. The process aims to produce a set of parts defined by compactness a...
