Contracts are behavioural descriptions of Web services. We devise a theory of contracts that formalises the compatibility of a client to a service, and the safe replacement of a s...
We study properties of quantum strategies, which are complete specifications of a given party's actions in any multiple-round interaction involving the exchange of quantum in...
Cooperative checkpointing uses global knowledge of the state and health of the machine to improve performance and reliability by dynamically deciding when to skip checkpoint reque...
Many decidability results are known for non-recursive cryptographic protocols, where the protocol steps can be expressed by simple rewriting rules. Recently, a tree transducer-base...
While many interesting dynamic load balancing schemes have been proposed for efficient use of limited bandwidth and to increase the capacity of congested or hot spots (or cells) in...
