In most multiagent systems with communicating agents, the agents have the luxury of using reliable, multi-step negotiation protocols. They can do so primarily when communication i...
In this paper we propose a framework that can be used for the implementation of reliable multi database system communication protocols. The framework provides transactions on shar...
Current and emerging high-performance parallel computer architectures generally implement one of two types of communication mechanisms: shared memory (SM) or message passing (MP)....
Energy is of primary importance in wireless sensor networks. By being able to estimate the energy consumption of the sensor nodes, applications and routing protocols are able to m...
Caches enhance the performance of multiprocessors by reducing network trac and average memory access latency. However, cache-based systems must address the problem of cache coher...
