Resource allocation problems in multi-user systems, modeled as Nash bargaining (NB) cooperative games, are investigated under different constraints. Using the joint time division m...
Certain observable features (tags), shared by a group of similar agents, can be used to signal intentions and can be effectively used to infer unobservable properties. Such infere...
This paper presents Cooperative Cache Partitioning (CCP) to allocate cache resources among threads concurrently running on CMPs. Unlike cache partitioning schemes that use a singl...
