Abstract Queueing Petri nets are a powerful formalism that can be exploited for modeling distributed systems and analyzing their performance and scalability. By combining the model...
In this paper, we propose a novel shape representation we call Directional Histogram Model (DHM). It captures the shape variation of an object and is invariant to scaling and rigi...

Distributed sensor networks offer many new capabilities for contextually monitoring environments. By making such systems mobile, we increase the application-space for the distribut...
Distributed cognition of dynamic processes is commonly observed in mobile groups of animates like schools of fish, hunting lions, or in human teams for sports or military maneuvers...
Recent evidence suggests that some characteristics of computer and telecommunications systems may be well described using heavy tailed distributions — distributions whose tail d...
