This paper considers the problem of calculating dominating sets in networks with bounded degree. In these networks, the maximal degree of any node is bounded by Δ, which is usuall...
Programming in a distributed system is fraught with potential difficulties caused, in part, by the physical distribution of the system itself. By making the distribution of the sy...
Viewpoint modeling is an effective technique for specifying complex software systems in terms of a set of independent viewpoints and correspondences between them. Each viewpoint f...
Fairness is an important concept in design and implementation of distributed systems. At the specification level, fairness usually serves as an assumption for proving liveness. At ...
A public key infrastructure is generally (and effectively) used for cryptographically secure authentication in the networks. Ad-hoc networks are formed in haphazard manner. Securi...
