In recent years, data broadcasting becomes a promising technique to design a mobile information system with power conservation, high scalability and high bandwidth utilization. Ho...
We study a representative task allocation problem called shortest paths: Let G be a graph in which the edges are owned by self interested agents. The cost of each edge is privatel...
Adaptation is an essential requirement for self–organizing multi–agent systems functioning in unknown dynamic environments. Adaptation allows agents, e.g., robots, to change th...
Applications designed to execute on "computational grids" frequently require the simultaneous co-allocation of multiple resources in order to meet performance requiremen...
With the ever-increasing transistor variability in CMOS technology, it is essential to integrate variation-aware performance analysis into the task allocation and scheduling proce...
