Abstract:
Game theory concerns settings where multiple self-interested agents (e.g., people or software agents) interact in the same environment. It attempts to describe the actions that rational strategic agents will take. Many successful real-world applications of game theory are in the context of designing a system or mechanism, for example, the design of the auctions used by major search engines to allocate ad...read more at event URL-

A database supporting multiple versions needs to distinguish these versions to determine which versions a transaction can read. By using timestamps as fine granularity, ordered and non-dense version identifiers, the effects of transaction access conflicts and the ordering the conflicts imposes on transactions can be captured in a transaction timestamp range. Using these ranges as constraints often permits concurren...read more at event URL-

Abstract:
Recent advances in Web browser technology have led to interest for development of offline Web applications. Offline Web applications make use of persistent data stored on a client�s local machine to allow for disconnected operation. Disconnected operation has been studied previously in the context of network file systems, object-oriented databases, and distributed object systems. However, previous work does not alway...read more at event URL-
