Redundancy can improve the availability of components in service-oriented systems. However, predicting and quantifying the effects of different redundancy strategies can be a comp...
We present a simple approach for implementing flexible locking strategies in a system of components, which may themselves be composite objects. The approach is flexible in that a ...
Previous research on materialized views has primarily been in the context of flat relational databases--materialized views defined in terms of one or more flat relations. This pape...

Recent advances in micro electro-mechanical systems and VLSI lithography have enabled the miniaturization of sensors and controllers. Such minitiarization facilitates the deployme...
: One focus of current software development is the re-use of components in the construction of systems. Software Adaptation facilitates the consequent need to adapt these component...
