Control and data flow aspects of a distributed system can be identified through the analysis of control and data dependencies that exist not only within processes, but also across...
Data flow and FSMs are used intensively to specify real-time systems in the field of mechatronics. Their implementation in FPGAs is discussed against the background of dynamic rec...
This paper addresses the problem of fine-grained data replication in large distributed systems, such as the Internet, so as to minimize the user access delays. With fine-grained d...
We study two properties of coalition formation algorithms, very important for their application in real-life scenarios: robustness and tolerance to some agent misbehaviors. The st...
We consider Coalitional Skill Games (CSGs), a simple model of cooperation among agents. This is a restricted form of coalitional games, where each agent has a set of skills that a...
