: The use of agent paradigm in today’s applications is hampered by the security concerns of agents and hosts alike. The agents require the presence of a secure and trusted execut...
We consider an asynchronous all optical packet switch (OPS) where each link consists of N wavelength channels and a pool of C ≤ N full range tunable wavelength converters. Under...
Abstract. This paper presents a framework of specification and verification for distributed real-time object-oriented systems. An earlier paper [17] introduced a process calculus...
Low overhead analysis of large distributed data sets is necessary for current data centers and for future sensor networks. In such systems, each node holds some data value, e.g., ...
Searching for non-text data (e.g., images) is mostly done by means of metadata annotations or by extracting the text close to the data. However, supporting real content-based audi...
