This paper bears on the design and the quantitative evaluation of MAC mechanisms for wireless ad-hoc networks with performance guarantees. By this, we mean mechanisms where each ac...
We argue that games are expressive enough to encompass (history-based) access control, (resource) usage control (e.g., dynamic adaptive access control of reputation systems), acco...
This work proposes a XML-based framework for distributing and enforcing RSVP access control policies, for RSVP-aware application servers. Policies are represented by extending XAC...
— Typical embedded systems must perform rather complex control and communication tasks with severely restricted computing resources. Due to these contraints most systems are sing...
The need to merge different versions of an object toa common state arises in collaborative computing due to several reasons including optimistic concurrency control, asynchronous ...
