Responsiveness and scalability are important quality-of-service attributes for Web applications. Web sites that are slow, either because of poor responsiveness or lack of scalabil...
This paper investigates the computational complexity of a fundamental problem in multi-agent systems: given an environment together with a specification of some task, can we const...
A number of distributed applications require communication services with Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. The QoS provisioning issue in the Internet has been addressed by the I...

We describe a method for performance analysis of large software systems that combines a fast instruction-set simulator with off-line detailed analysis of segments of the execution...
While exploring to nd better solutions, an agent performing online reinforcement learning (RL) can perform worse than is acceptable. In some cases, exploration might have unsafe, ...
