Locales (as first embodied in the SPLINE system) are a very good approach to constructing and organising large virtual environments, especially for distributed and multiuser syste...
This paper discusses a new, symbolic approach to geometric modeling called generative modeling. The approach allows specification, rendering, and analysis of a wide variety of sha...
Explosive increase in enduser computing on distributed systems requires that endusers develop application software by themselves. One solution is given as a formula of "a dom...
Future middleware platforms will need to be more configurable in order to meet the demands of a wide variety of application domains. Furthermore, we believe that such platforms wil...
Quorums are a basic construct in solving many fundamental distributed computing problems. One of the known ways of making quorums scalable and efficient is by weakening their int...
