Fault tolerant distributed protocols typically utilize a homogeneous fault model, either fail-crash or fail-Byzantine, where all processors are assumed to fail in the same manner....
Embedded systems are rapidly growing in size, complexity, distribution, and heterogeneity. As a result, the traditional practice of developing one-off embedded applications that a...
The agent view provides maybe the right level of abstraction for dealing with complex, distribblem-solving systems. It abstracts from aspects like the hardware or software platfor...
Aim of the paper is to develop a concise but comprehensive analytical model for the well-known Grace Hash Join algorithm on cost effective cluster architectures. This approach is ...
Increasingly, distributed systems are being constructed by composing a number of discrete components. This practice, termed composition, is particularly prevalent within the Web s...
