Distributed problem solving by a multiagent system represents a promising approach to solving complex computational problems. However, many multiagent systems require certain degr...
Large–scale parallel applications performing global synchronization may spend a significant amount of execution time waiting for the completion of a barrier operation. Conseque...
New demands brought by the continuing growth of the Internet will be met in part by more effective and comprehensive use of caching. This paper proposes to exploit client browser ...
We define two new classes of shared-memory objects: ratifiers, which detect agreement, and conciliators, which ensure agreement with some probability. We show that consensus can...
Agent systems are highly distributed and feature widespread coordination and collaboration. Because of these characteristics, a traditional object oriented approach to software de...
