Protocols which solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed applications. While many protocols have been published, little has been done ...
The tuple space coordination model is one of the most interesting coordination models for open distributed systems due to its space and time decoupling and its synchronization pow...
Secure, fault-tolerant distributed systems are difficult to build, to validate, and to operate. Conservative design for such systems dictates that their security and fault toleran...
When asymmetric cryptography techniques are used in wireless networks, the public keys of the nodes need to be widely available and signed by a Certificate Authority (CA). However,...
Several protocols of address autoconfiguration in the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) are present in the current literature. Although some of these protocols perform decently in spar...
