We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...
—An open issue in self-organisation is how to control the emergence of behaviour. This issue is also of interest for engineering holonic multi-agent systems as any level of a hol...
The distributed data storage on unreliable devices, connected by a short-range radio network is analyzed. Failing devices incur loss of data. To prevent the loss, the data is spli...
The DMT (discrete multitone modulation) technique has been widely applied to data transmission over fading channels of twisted pairs. It has been shown that the DMT system with id...
This paper provides a general mechanism and a solid theoretical basis for performing planning within Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents. BDI agent systems have emerged as one of...
