A collision resolution scheme is essential to the performance of a random-access wireless network. Most schemes employ exponential backoff (EB) to adjust the transmission attempt ...
The group mutual exclusion problem extends the traditional mutual exclusion problem by associating a type with each critical section. In this problem, processes requesting critica...
IT today is driven by the trend of increasing scale and complexity. Utility and Grid computing models, PlanetLab, and traditional data centers, are reaching the scale of thousands...
As device geometries continue to shrink, single event upsets are becoming of concern to a wider spectrum of system designers. These “soft errors” can be a nuisance or catastro...
This paper presents a model for adaptive agents. The model describes the behavior of an agent as a graph of roles, in short a behavior graph. Links between roles provide conditions...
