The development of Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) involves special concerns, such as interaction, adaptation, autonomy, among others. Many of these concerns are overlapping, crosscut e...
At a fundamental level, the key challenge in data integration is to reconcile the semantics of disparate data sets, each expressed with a different database structure. I argue th...
In mobile computing environments, as a result of the reduced capacity of local storage, it is commonly not feasible to replicate entire datasets on each mobile unit. In addition, ...
Predicated execution can eliminate hard to predict branches and help to enable instruction level parallelism. Many current predication variants exist where the result update is co...
With rapid technological advances in network infrastructure, programming languages, compatible component interfaces and so many more areas, today the computational Grid has evolve...
