Commitment-modeled protocols enable flexible and robust interactions among agents. However, existing work has focused on features and capabilities of protocols without considerin...
The faster growth curves in the speed of GPUs relative to CPUs in the past decade and its rapidly gained popularity have spawned a new area of development in computational technol...
To complement standard fitness functions, we propose "Fitness Importance" (FI) as a novel meta-heuristic for online learning systems. We define FI and show how it can be...
Abstract--Despite much progress, developing a pervasive computing application remains a challenge because of a lack of conceptual frameworks and supporting tools. This challenge in...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are slowly moving from application-specific architectures to a generic serviceoriented design framework. The idea is to allow a dynamic collection of P...
