: When the communication channels are subject to interruptions such as jamming, the coordination of the real time motions of distributed autonomous vehicles becomes a challenging p...
In distributed real-time systems, meeting the real-time constraints is mandatory but the satisfaction of other application-dependent criteria is most generally required as well. I...
Proxies are commonly used to cache objects, especially multimedia objects, so that clients can enjoy better quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees such as smaller startup latency and...
Negotiation is a fundamental mechanism in distributed multi-agent systems. Since negotiation is a time-spending process, in many scenarios agents have to take into account the pas...
Real-time scheduling algorithms for multiprocessor systems have been the subject of considerable recent interest. For such an algorithm to be truly useful in practice, support for...
