We consider the problem of threshold secret sharing in groups with hierarchical structure. In such settings, the secret is shared among a group of participants that is partitioned ...
Increasingly, scalable distributed applications are being constructed by integrating reusable components spanning multiple administrative domains. Dynamic composition and deployme...
In 21st-Century VLSI design, clocking plays crucial roles for both performance and timing convergence. Due to their non-convex nature, optimal minimum-delay/area zero-skew wire-si...

We apply the multi-agent system (MAS) platform to the task of biological network simulation. In this paper, we describe the simulation of signal transduction (ST) networks using t...

In this paper we present a cooperative negotiation protocol that solves a distributed resource allocation problem while conforming to soft real-time constraints in a dynamic envir...
