Abstract. Control for agents situated in multi-agent systems is a complex problem. This is particularly true in hard, open, dynamic environments where resource, privacy, bandwidth,...
The one issue that unites almost all approaches to distributed computing is the need to know whether certain components in the system have failed or are otherwise unavailable. Whe...
In this paper we introduce the notion of weak endochrony, which extends to a synchronous setting the classical theory of Mazurkiewicz traces. The notion is useful in the synthesis ...
Programs written in point-free form express computation purely in terms of functions. Such programs are especially amenable to local transformation. In this paper, we describe a pr...
In this paper, a bottom-up hierarchical genetic algorithm is proposed to visualize clustered data into a planar graph. To achieve global optimization by accelerating local optimiz...
