Optimistic replication is a fundamental technique for supporting concurrent work practices in mobile environments. However, due to sudden and frequent transitions to weakly connec...
As mobile computing devices become more and more popular, mobile databases have started gaining popularity. An important feature of these database systems is their ability to allo...
: We consider the use of a cluster system with a shared nothing architecture for update-intensive autonomous databases. To optimize load balancing, we use optimistic database repli...
This paper introduces COAST, an object-oriented toolkit for the development of synchronous groupware, which enhances the usability and simplifies the development of such applicati...
Abstract—We are developing a concurrent, agent-based approach to complex systems simulation as part of the CoSMoS project. In such simulations an agent’s behaviour can typicall...
