Distributed constraint satisfaction, in its most general acceptation, involves a collection of agents solving local constraint satisfaction subproblems, and a communication protoco...
Distribution of product updates to embedded devices can increase product lifetimes for consumers and boost revenues for vendors. Dynamic provisioning of application solutions to e...
Internet computing technologies, like grid computing, enable a weak computational device connected to such a grid to be less limited by its inadequate local computational, storage,...
This paper unifies two recent strands of research in multiagent system design. One, commitments are widely recognized as capturing important aspects of interactions among agents,...
We describe a general-purpose distributed system capable of traceback of malicious flow trajectories in the wide area despite possible source IP spoofing. Our system requires th...
