Multi-agent systems are widely used to address large-scale distributed combinatorial applications in the real world. One such application is meeting scheduling (MS), which is deļ¬...
AbstractāIn distributed environments, access control decisions depend on statements of multiple agents rather than only one central trusted party. However, existing policy langua...
Causal request traces are valuable to developers of large concurrent and distributed applications, yet diļ¬cult to obtain. Traces show how a request is processed, and can be anal...
For data-collection applications in sensor networks, it is important to ensure all data sources have equal (or weighted) access to network bandwidth so that the base stations rece...
With this work we aim to make a three-fold contribution. We ļ¬rst address the issue of supporting eļ¬ciently queries over string-attributes involving preļ¬x, suļ¬x, containmen...
