Agents are a useful abstraction frequently employed as a basic building block in modeling service, information and resource sharing in global environments. The connecting of reques...
The notion of lambda-Grids posits plentiful collections of computing and storage resources richly interconnected by dedicated dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical...
Separation logic [20,21,14] began life as an extended formalisation of Burstall's treatment of list-mutating programs [8]. It rapidly became clear that there was more that it...
Construction activities take place in what can be called a dynamic virtual organization (VO). VOs require a secure, reliable, scalable information infrastructure that allows collab...
Peer-to-peer computing paradigm is emerging as a scalable and robust model for sharing media objects. In this paper, we propose an architecture and describe the associated algorit...
