Replication is an area of interest to both distributed systems and databases. The solutions developed from these two perspectives are conceptually similar but differ in many aspec...
This paper presents a precise market model for a well-defined class of distributed configuration design problems. Given a design problem, the model defines a computational economy...
Adaptive mesh re nement (AMR) is a very important scienti c application. Several libraries implementing speci c distribution policies havebeen written for AMR. In this paper, we p...
The paper reports on the formal framework to design strategies for multi-issue non-symmetric meaning negotiations among software agents in a distributed information retrieval syste...
Mainly for scalability reasons, many cryptographic security protocols make use of public key cryptography and require the existence of a corresponding public key infrastructure (P...
