This paper proposes a simple model to capture the complexity of multi-layer systems where their constituent layers affect, are affected by, each other. The physical layer is a circuit composed by a power source and resistors in parallel.…

In large-scale Internet of things networks, efficient medium access control (MAC) is critical due to the growing number of devices competing for limited communication resources. In this work, we consider a new challenge in which a set of…

Modern cloud and enterprise systems rely on identity-centric authorization, assuming that callers possessing valid credentials are safe to execute commands. The emergence of autonomous AI agents invalidates this assumption: agents can…

We present here a cost effective framework for a robust scalable and distributed job processing system that adapts to the dynamic computing needs easily with efficient load balancing for heterogeneous systems. The design is such that each…

Distributed quantum computing (DQC) is a promising approach to extending the computational power of near-term quantum devices. However, the non-local quantum communication between quantum devices is much more expensive and error-prone than…

In this paper, we introduce a new framework for modelling the exchange of multiple arguments across agents in a social network. To date, most modelling work concerned with opinion dynamics, testimony, or communication across social networks…

We propose a generalized market equilibrium model using assignment game criteria for evaluating transportation systems that consist of both operators' and users' decisions. The model finds stable pricing, in terms of generalized costs, and…

The migration of conversational AI agents across different embodiments in order to maintain the continuity of the task has been recently explored to further improve user experience. However, these migratable agents lack contextual…

We present an efficient routing approach for delivering packets in complex networks. On delivering a message from a node to a destination, a node forwards the message to a neighbor by estimating the waiting time along the shortest path from…

Software testing is a very expensive and time consuming process. It can account for up to 50% of the total cost of the software development. Distributed systems make software testing a daunting task. The research described in this paper…

Contract-based design is a promising methodology for taming the complexity of developing sophisticated systems. A formal contract distinguishes between assumptions, which are constraints that the designer of a component puts on the…

The mobility of people is at the center of transportation planning and decision-making of the cities of the future. In order to accelerate the transition to zero-emissions and to maximize air quality benefits, smart cities are prioritizing…

We propose a formalism to model and reason about multi-agent systems. We allow agents to interact and communicate in different modes so that they can pursue joint tasks; agents may dynamically synchronize, exchange data, adapt their…

The design of multi-agent based simulations (MABS) is up to now mainly done in laboratories and based on designers' understanding of the activities to be simulated. Domain experts have little chance to directly validate agent behaviors. To…

In the framework of transferable utility coalitional games, a scoring (characteristic) function determines the value of any subset/coalition of agents. Agents decide on both which coalitions to form and the allocations of the values of the…

We propose a model enabling decentralized multiple agents to share their perception of environment in a fair and adaptive way. In our model, both the current message and historical observation are taken into account, and they are handled in…

In this paper, we revisit the communication vs. distributed computing trade-off, studied within the framework of MapReduce in [1]. An implicit assumption in the aforementioned work is that each server performs all possible computations on…

In its simplest form the well known consensus problem for a networked family of autonomous agents is to devise a set of protocols or update rules, one for each agent, which can enable all of the agents to adjust or tune their "agreement…

An important aspect in jointly analysing networked control systems and their communication is to model the networking in a sufficiently rich but at the same time mathematically tractable way. As such, this paper improves on a recently…

Ensuring the safe and efficient operation of CAVs relies heavily on the software framework used. A software framework needs to ensure real-time properties, reliable communication, and efficient resource utilization. Furthermore, a software…
