Computer manufacturers spend a huge amount of time, resources, and money in designing new systems and newer configurations, and their ability to reduce costs, charge competitive p...
Ever shrinking device sizes and innovative micro-architectural and circuit design techniques have made it possible to have multi-million transistor systems running at multi-gigahe...
Mechanism design (MD) has recently become a very popular approach in the design of distributed systems of autonomous agents. A key assumption required for the application of MD is...
Abstract The advent of large-scale distributed systems poses unique engineering challenges. In open systems such as the internet it is not possible to prescribe the behaviour of al...
