BDI Agents: From Theory to Practice
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (ICMAS-95
, 1995
"... The study of computational agents capable of rational behaviour has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Theoretical formalizations of such agents and their implementations have proceeded in parallel with little or no connection between them. This paper explores a particular typ ..."

Medium Access Control with Coordinated Adaptive Sleeping for Wireless Sensor Networks
- IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking
, 2004
"... This paper proposes S-MAC, a medium access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. A network of these devices will collaborate for a common application such as environmental monitoring. We expect senso ..."

.11 in several ways: energy conservation and self-configuration are primary goals, while per-node fairness and latency are less important. S-MAC uses a few novel techniques to reduce energy consumption and support self-configuration. It enables low-duty-cycle operation in a multihop network. Nodes form virtual

On the impact of primary traffic correlation in TV White Space
, 2016
"... a b s t r a c t In TV White Space, a secondary user must access periodically to a geolocated database to acquire the spectrum availability information. Furthermore, it can access on-demand to the database to update such an information. The more frequent are the on-demand accesses, the higher are th ..."

are the communication opportunities available to the secondary user but the higher is the induced overhead. Hence, in this manuscript, the on-demand access is investigated to a-priori determine whenever it is advantageous to perform it by accounting for the correlation exhibited by primary traffic patterns. To this aim
RAP: An End-to-end Rate-based Congestion Control Mechanism for Realtime Streams in the Internet
"... End-to-end congestion control mechanisms have been critical to the robustness and stability of the Internet. Most of today’s Internet traffic is TCP, and we expect this to remain so in the future. Thus, having “TCP-friendly” behavior is crucial for new applications. However, the emergence of non-co ..."

Opportunistic Spectrum Access in 1 Self Similar Primary Traffic
"... We take a stochastic optimization approach to opportunity tracking and access in self-similar primary traffic. Based on a multiple time scale hierarchical Markovian model, we formulate opportunity tracking and access in self-similar primary traffic as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process. ..."

Traffic and related self-driven many-particle systems
, 2000
"... Since the subject of traffic dynamics has captured the interest of physicists, many surprising effects have been revealed and explained. Some of the questions now understood are the following: Why are vehicles sometimes stopped by ‘‘phantom traffic jams’ ’ even though drivers all like to drive fast? ..."

We aim at inferring the most appropriate conditions for an efficient secondary service provision according to the Cognitive Radio network characteristics. Meanwhile, we have performed a general analysis for many still open issues in Cognitive
On Positive Harris Recurrence of Multiclass Queueing Networks: A Unified Approach Via Fluid Limit Models
- Annals of Applied Probability
, 1995

Although there has been some progress in establishing the stability conditions for a multiclass network, there is no unified ..."
