Complete algorithms have been proposed to solve problems modelled as distributed constraint optimization (DCOP). However, there are only few attempts to address real world scenari...
Facility layouts of existing or proposed production systems often form the basis of a dynamic simulation study to prove the design concept and to determine if the required through...
This paper presents and discusses some infrastructure services necessary for distributed applications development. The main service considered is the component search service whic...
Since several years, ubiquitous computing and pervasive computing has emerged and, in particular, context-aware computing. Using mobile devices, the context is perpetually evolvin...
