Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) pose challenges not present in classical distributed systems: resource limitations, high failure rates, and ad hoc deployment. The lossy nature of w...
Multiple, highly autonomous, satellite systems are envisioned in the near future because they are capable of higher performance, lower cost, better fault tolerance, reconfigurabil...

Although normative systems, or social laws, have proved to be a highly influential approach to coordination in multi-agent systems, the issue of compliance to such normative syste...
Abstract. Replication is a fundamental technique for increasing throughput and achieving fault tolerance in distributed data services. However, its implementation may induce signif...
