We investigate the problem of atomic commit in transactional database systems built on top of Distributed Hash Tables. Therefore we present a framework for DHTs to provide strong d...
Most modern programming languages rely on exceptions for dealing with abnormal situations. Although exception handling was a significant improvement over other mechanisms like chec...
In this paper we study the problem of schema exchange, a natural extension of the data exchange problem to an intensional level. To this end, we first introduce the notion of sche...
Deploying Grid technologies by distributing an application over several machines has been widely used for scientific simulations, which have large requirements for computational r...
We describe a novel method for symbolic location discovery of simple objects. The method requires no infrastructure and relies on simple sensors routinely used in sensor nodes and ...
