The Adoption of RFID-based Self-Check-Out-Systems at the Point-of-Sale

It is the aim of this paper to identify the most important factors that influence a retail company's expectations and motivations regarding RFID implementation at the point-of-sale based on empirical data. The data for our research was gathered by means of a questionnaire and analysed using a structural equation model. The results suggest that retailers which expect a high potential from RFID u...

Self-organized Middle-Out Abstraction

In this position paper we present a concept to automatically simplify computational processes in large-scale self-organizing multi-agent simulations. The fundamental idea is that groups of agents that exhibit predictable interaction patterns are temporarily subsumed by higher order agents with behaviours of lower computational costs. In this manner, hierarchies of meta-agents automatically abst...

Self-Stabilizing -out-of- Exclusion

In this paper, self-stabilizing asynchronous distributed algorithms are given for the -out-ofexclusion problem, a generalization of the mutual exclusion problem, in which there are units of a resource, and any process can request up to units. We consider two network topologies, a tree and a unidirectional ring. The networks are anonymous except for one distinguished process. The ring algorithm ...
