In a distributed system or communication network tasks may need to be executed on more than one processor. For time-critical tasks, the timing constraints are typically given as e...
Buffering of intermediate results in dataflow diagrams can significantly reduce latency when a user browses these results or re-executes a diagram with slightly different inputs. ...
This paper addresses the problem of deciding effectively whether to interrupt a teammate who may have information that is valuable for solving a collaborative scheduling problem. ...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a key technique for solving multiagent coordination problems. Unfortunately, finding minimal-cost DCOP solutions is NP-hard. We there...
Solution-Guided Multi-Point Constructive Search (SGMPCS) is a complete, constructive search technique that has been shown to out-perform standard constructive search techniques on ...
