In this paper, we introduce novel mechanisms for measuring and evaluating the performance of a network and its devices, configured especially for Voice over IP (VoIP). We study the...
There has been significant recent progress in reasoning and constraint processing methods. In areas such as planning and finite model-checking, current solution techniques can h...
This paper studies commitments in multiagent systems. A dialectical commitment corresponds to an agent taking a position about a putative fact, including for the sake of argument....
This paper unifies two recent strands of research in multiagent system design. One, commitments are widely recognized as capturing important aspects of interactions among agents,...
Recently-proposed architectures that continuously operate on atomic blocks of instructions (also called chunks) can boost the programmability and performance of shared-memory mult...
