We discuss four issues concerning the semantics of Message Flow Graphs (MFGs). MFGs are extensively used as pictures of message-passing behavior. One type of MFG, Message Sequence...
Asynchronous method calls have been proposed to better integrate object orientation with distribution. In the Creol language, asynchronous method calls are combined with so-called...
We consider in-network processing via local message passing. The considered setting involves a set of sensors each of which can communicate with a subset of other sensors. There is...
Recently, decentralized publish-subscribe (pub-sub) systems have gained popularity as a scalable asynchronous messaging paradigm over wide-area networks. Most existing pub-sub sys...

This paper introduces the Sigma algorithm that solves fault-tolerant mutual exclusion problem in dynamic systems where the set of processes may be large and change dynamically, pr...
