In an open distributed system, computational resources are peer-owned, and distributed over time and space. The fact that these resources can dynamically join or leave the system (...
Networks of timed automata (NTA) are widely used to model distributed real-time systems. Quite often in the literature, the automata are allowed to share clocks. This is a problem ...
The paradigm of “human computation” seeks to harness human abilities to solve computational problems or otherwise perform distributed work that is beyond the scope of current ...
In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the amount of available computing and storage resources. Yet few have been able to exploit these resources in an aggregated ...
