Abstract - We discuss the impact of locally implemented behaviour on global behaviour specification in a federation of object-oriented databases. In particular, given a specificati...
: Let G = (V, E) be a strongly connected and aperiodic directed graph of uniform out-degree k. A deterministic finite automaton is obtained if the edges are colored with k colors i...
This paper presents an approximation method for numerically solving general Markov modulated fluid models which are widely used in modelling communications and computer systems. ...
Abstract. We present a related family of authentication and digital signature protocols based on symmetric cryptographic primitives which perform substantially better than previous...

This paper deals with linear shift-invariant distributed systems. By this we mean systems described by constant coefficient linear partial differential equations. We define dissipa...
