Adaptive agent negotiation via argumentation
(2006)In this paper, we study how argumentation can be used as a basis for negotiation between autonomous agents, where negotiation strategies of the different parties are represented as argumentation theories within their ...

Adaptive nonlinear congestion controller for a differentiated-services framework
(2005)The growing demand of computer usage requires efficient ways of managing network traffic in order to avoid or at least limit the level of congestion in cases where increases in bandwidth are not desirable or possible. In ...

Adaptive probabilistic flooding for nanonetworks employing molecular communication
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)Probabilistic flooding is a simple to implement, information dissemination scheme which is known to alleviate the broadcast storm problem. Simplicity of implementation is a critical requirement of network protocol design ...

Article
Argumentative agent deliberation, roles and context
(2002)This paper presents an argumentation based framework to support an agent's deliberation process for drawing conclusions under a given policy. The argumentative policy of the agent is able to take into account the roles ...

Brief announcement: A formal treatment of an abstract channel implementation using java sockets and TCP
(2007)Abstract models and specifications can be used in the design of distributed applications to formally reason about their safety properties. However, the benefits of using formal methods are offset by the challenging process ...

A comparative study of protocols for efficient data propagation in smart dust networks
(2003)Smart Dust is comprised of a vast number of ultra-small fully autonomous computing and communication devices, with very restricted energy and computing capabilities, that co-operate to accomplish a large sensing task. Smart ...

Configuration and dynamic reconfiguration of components using the coordination paradigm
(2001)One of the most promising approaches in developing component-based (possibly distributed) systems is that of coordination models and languages. Coordination programming enjoys a number of advantages such as the ability to ...

A congestion control algorithm for max-min resource allocation and bounded queue sizes
(2004)This paper deals with the congestion control problem in computer networks which is viewed as a resource allocation problem constrained by the additional requirement that the queue sizes need to be bounded. We propose a ...

Congestion control in differentiated services networks using fuzzy logic
(2004)The provision of quality of service (QoS) in a differentiated services (Diff-Serv) environment requires an adequate differentiation between high-priority/assured and low-priority/best-effort classes of service in the ...

Content Delivery Networks: Status and Trends
(2003)An insight into the content delivery networks (CDN) architecture and popular CDN service providers is performed. CDNs improve network performance and offer fast and reliable applications and services by distributing content ...

Coordinating web services using channel based communication
(2004)In this work we investigate the use of a new concept in component communication during the coordination of Web Services, expressed by the channel based coordinating communication system called Reo. The role of Reo is to ...

Distributed and parallel systems engineering in MANIFOLD
(1998)A rather recent approach in programming parallel and distributed systems is that of coordination models and languages. Coordination programming enjoys a number of advantages such as the ability to express different software ...

Distributed Calculation of Edge-Disjoint Spanning Trees for Robustifying Distributed Algorithms against Man-in-the-Middle Attacks
(2017)In this paper we provide a distributed methodology to allow a network of agents, tasked to execute a distributed algorithm, to overcome Man-in-the-middle attacks that aim at steering the result of the algorithm towards ...

Distributed Fault Diagnosis in Discrete Event Systems via Set Intersection Refinements
(2018)We extend and verify diagnosability for a class of set intersection refinement strategies, which can be used for distributed state estimation and fault diagnosis in nondeterministic finite automata that are observed at ...

Distributed finite-time calculation of node eccentricities, graph radius and graph diameter
(2016)The distributed calculation of node eccentricities, graph radius and graph diameter are fundamental steps to tune network protocols (e.g., setting an adequate time-to-live of packets), to select cluster heads, or to execute ...

Distributed location aware web crawling
(2004)Distributed crawling has shown that it can overcome important limitations of the today's crawling paradigm. However, the optimal benefits of this approach are usually limited to the sites hosting the crawler. In this work, ...
