Abstract. The automata-based model checking approach for randomized distributed systems relies on an operational interleaving semantics of the system by means of a Markov decision ...
: In this paper, we analyze the node scheduling approach of topology control in the context of reliable packet delivery. In node scheduling, only a minimum set of nodes needed for ...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
