Abstract. Negotiation over resources and multi-agent planning are important issues in multi-agent systems research. It has been demonstrated [19] how symbolic negotiation and distr...
Abstract--We propose several heuristic algorithms that reconfigure logical topologies in wide-area wavelength-routed optical networks. Our reconfiguration algorithms attempt to kee...
Trust mechanism will be an important trend in the field of security for open network. But, as an important factor risk is little considered in trust model. In this paper, Further w...
We introduce a deductive system Bal which models the logic of balance of opposing forces or of balance between conflicting evidence or influences. "Truth values" are int...
Separation logic allows simple proofs of concurrent algorithms which use blocking mechanisms such as semaphores. It can even deal with non-blocking algorithms. With the addition of...
