Most distributed real-time embedded systems are specified combining state diagram and data flow languages. This leads to several real-time codes which together do not necessaril...
With the ever-increasing use of object-oriented middleware in distributed information systems, new challenges are facing the software engineering profession. Often, it is simply a...
Interconnected service providers constitute a highly dynamic, complex, distributed environment. Multi-agent system design-methodologies have been trying to address this kind of env...
A general light transfer simulation algorithm for environments composed of materials with arbitrary reflectance functions is presented. This algorithm removes the previous practic...
— Self-management has often been proposed as a means to reduce the growing complexity of administration in distributed systems. We argue that this can be achieved through aggress...
