— With the rise in complexity of modern systems, designers are spending a significant time on at the system level of abstraction. This paper introduces Model Algebra, a formalis...
An important number of studies have addressed the importance of models in software engineering, mainly in the design of robust software systems. Although models have been proven t...
Abstract. Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks are a class of algorithms that provide efficient message routing for distributed applications using a sparsely connected communic...
Epidemics-inspired techniques have received huge attention in recent years from the distributed systems and networking communities. These algorithms and protocols rely on probabili...
— In this paper we employ the theory of partially ordered sets to model and analyze a class of decentralized control problems. We show that posets provide a natural way of modeli...
