The (M, W)-controller, originally studied by Afek, Awerbuch, Plotkin, and Saks, is a basic distributed tool that an abstraction for managing the consumption of a global resource i...
A universal spatial automaton, called WAVE, for highly parallel processing in arbitrary distributed systems is described. The automaton is based on a virus principle where recursi...
—P2P computing platforms are subject to a wide range of attacks. In this paper, we propose a generalisation of the previous disk-less checkpointing approach for fault-tolerance i...
Pervasive computing environments are characterized by an additional heterogeneity compared to existing computing infrastructures. Devices ranging from small embedded systems to fu...
In previous work [1], we introduced a distributed middleware infrastructure for managing physicallybounded, standalone pervasive computing environments, which we refer to as Activ...
