Abstract. Distributing process-oriented programs across a cluster of machines requires careful attention to the effects of network latency. The MPI standard, widely used for cluste...
We present new results on the problem of finding an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that will contain a given a set of rectangles. Many simple scheduling tasks can be modelled...
The Mobile Agent (MA) paradigm seems able to support effectively distributed applications in open and heterogeneous environments, and application areas such as ecommerce appear to...

: Partially-observable Markov decision processes provide a very general model for decision-theoretic planning problems, allowing the trade-offs between various courses of actions t...
To explore the parallelism among rules is one of the ways to increase the speed of production systems. In this paper, an Object Pattern Matching model is proposed to interpret the...
