— This paper envisions a shared virtual reality system that could handle millions of users and objets. The SOLIPSIS system does not rely on servers and is based on a network of p...
A rather recent approach in programming parallel and distributed systems is that of coordination models and languages. Coordination programming enjoys a number of advantages such a...
For data analysis or simulations (e.g. in particle physics) single users submit hundreds or thousands of jobs to the Grid. This puts a new burden on the users side - keeping an ov...
Modern software control systems must cope with uncertainty, manage dynamic environments, as well as provide greater flexibility. Distributed agent-based control systems are the id...
A natural encoding of synchronous message exchange with direct wait-control is proved to be equivalent in a distributed environment to a refinement which uses semaphores to implem...
