Recent technological advances have opened up several distributed real-time applications involving battery-driven embedded devices with local processing and wireless communication ...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a general framework that can model complex problems in multi-agent systems. Several current algorithms that solve general DCOP instan...
— In autonomic provisioning, a resource manager allocates resources to an application, on-demand, e.g., during load spikes. Modelling-based approaches have proved very successful...
We describe a new class of utility-maximization scheduling problem with precedence constraints, the disconnected staged scheduling problem (DSSP). DSSP is a nonpreemptive multipro...
