Delaunay triangulation (DT) is a useful geometric structure for networking applications. In this paper we investigate the design of join, leave, and maintenance protocols to const...
Distributed systems require strategies to detect and recover from failures. Many protocols for distributed systems employ a strategy based on leases, which grant a leaseholder acc...
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...
A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) every two of which intersect. Quorum systems have been used for many applications in the area of distributed systems, including mu...
