Building open distributed systems is an even more challenging task than building distributed systems, as their components are loosely synchronised, can move, become disconnected, ...
Technology scaling in integrated circuits has consistently provided dramatic performance improvements in modern microprocessors. However, increasing device counts and decreasing o...
Large scale compute clusters continue to grow to ever-increasing proportions. However, as clusters and applications continue to grow, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) has redu...
Abstract. Designing and programming dependable distributed applications is very difficult. Databases provide features like transactions and replication that can help in the impleme...
Mobile agents offer a new possibility for the development of applications in distributed systems and are no longer a theoretical issue since different architectures for their impl...
