Recently distributed hash table (DHT) mechanisms have been proposed to manage data in very large, structured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. DHT algorithms provide efficient exact-mat...
In this paper we provide a general method to derive productform solutions for stochastic models. We take inspiration from the Reversed Compound Agent Theorem [14] and we provide a...
Abstract. The emergence of large-scale online collaboration requires current information systems to be apprehended as service ensembles comprising human and software service entiti...
A program is reentrant if distinct executions of that program on distinct inputs cannot affect each other. Reentrant programs have the desirable property that they can be deployed...
This case study discusses two related aspects that are becoming increasingly important in today’s software development practice: re-engineering of a monolithic system into a com...
