Designers of distributed systems often rely on replicas for increased robustness, scalability, and performance. Replicated server architectures require some technique to select a ...
The global testing problem studied in this paper is to seek a definite answer to whether a system of concurrent black-boxes has an observable behavior in a given finite (but cou...
Autonomous Community Information System (ACIS) is a proposition made to contend with the extreme dynamism in the large-scale information system. ACIS is a decentralized bilateral-...
Protection is an essential issue for the kind of heterogeneous distributed interoperable object environments, which Java and CORBA are a glimpse of. A uniform protection mechanism...
