Motivated by service levels in terms of the waiting-time distribution seen in e.g. call centers, we consider two models for systems with a service discipline that depends on the w...
In recent years, there have been a few proposals to add a small amount of trusted hardware at each replica in a Byzantine fault tolerant system to cut back replication factors. Th...

We study small distributed work groups capturing, managing, and reusing knowledge in a collaborative activity. We conceive this process as adaptation of a group to an activity and...

One way to design a local search algorithm that is effective on many types of instances is allowing this algorithm to switch among heuristics. In this paper, we refer to the way in...
Many collaborative multi-robot application domains have limited areas of operation that cause spatial conflicts between robotic teammates. These spatial conflicts can cause the te...
