Dependable properties such as self-stabilization are crucial requirements in sensor networks. One way to achieve these properties is to utilize the vast literature on distributed ...
Current systems for managing workload on clusters of workstations, particularly those available for Linux-based (Beowulf) clusters, are typically based on traditional process-base...
