There are many methodological approaches for Agent-Oriented Software Engineering, each one focusing on some features of multi-agent systems, but leaving others underdefined. For t...
Fault tolerance is a very important concern for critical high performance applications using the MPI library. Several protocols provide automatic and transparent fault detection a...

In this paper we incorporate autonomous agents' capability to perform parallel interactions into the cooperative search model, resulting in a new method which outperforms the...
The challenge we address is to reason about projected resource usage within a hierarchical task execution framework in order to improve agent effectiveness. Specifically, we seek ...
Based on the framework of parameterized complexity theory, we derive tight lower bounds on the computational complexity for a number of well-known NP-hard problems. We start by pr...
