Abstract. The ELAN system is an environment for specifying and prototyping constraint solvers, theorem provers and deduction systems in general. It also provides a framework for ex...
This paper addresses a novel coordination problem for distributed agents in a discrete-event setting. We introduce and study a predicate coordination problem as the problem of dist...
We describe a scheme to fragment and distribute centralized databases. ’ The problem is motivated by trends towards down-sizing and reorganization, reflecting actual, often dist...
As autonomous agents proliferate in the real world, both in software and robotic settings, they will increasingly need to band together for cooperative activities with previously ...

The imprecise computation model provides the ability to cope with unpredictable workloads. However, there is no consistent way on how to terminate the computation in its early sta...
