Abstract—We are developing a concurrent, agent-based approach to complex systems simulation as part of the CoSMoS project. In such simulations an agent’s behaviour can typicall...
Autonomic Computing is a promising new concept in system development. It aims to (i) increase reliability by designing systems to be self-protecting and self-healing; and (ii) inc...
This paper presents the design and implementation of a transaction manager embedded in a log-structured file system [11]. Measurements show that transaction support on a log-stru...
In this paper we focus on the issue of repository transactions. Similar to database objects repository objects can be accessed form multiple clients simultaneously. The organizati...
The design of very small databases for smart cards and for portable embedded systems is deeply constrained by the peculiar features of the physical medium. Privacy concerns are re...
