Abstract. Current approaches to multi-agent interaction involve specifying protocols as sets of possible interactions, and hard-coding decision mechanisms into agent programs in or...
Every computer needs a timer mechanism to keep track of current time and also for various accounting purposes such as calculating the time spent by a process in CPU utilization, di...
Abstract—In this paper, we investigate cooperative OFDM communications using amplify-and-forward (AF) protocol at the relays, in the presence of imperfect timing synchronization....
Time information is critical for a variety of applications in distributed environments that facilitate pervasive computing and communication. This work describes and evaluates a no...
