The common vision of pervasive computing environments requires a very large range of devices and software components to interoperate seamlessly. From the assumption that these dev...
This paper presents a technique called “workload decomposition” in which the CPU workload is decomposed in two parts: on-chip and off-chip. The on-chip workload signifies the ...
Multi-agent systems comprise multiple, deliberative agents embedded in and recreating patterns of interactions. Each agent’s execution consumes considerable storage and calculat...
In this paper we present a swarm grammar system that makes use of bio-inspired mechanisms of reproduction, communication and construction in order to build three-dimensional struc...
er than abstracting human behavior as work processes or tasks--functional idealizations of the work to be accomplished--we model people's activities comprehensively and chrono...
