In component-based software development, the design of components should be carried out separately from the deployment of components, in order to enable composition by independent ...
In this paper we propose an automatic mechanism for annotating XML documents. This mechanism relies on a simple data model whose main features are: (1) a modeling of XML documents ...
This paper examines the issue of dynamically scheduling applications on a wide-area network computing system. We construct a simulation model for wide-area task allocation problem...
This paper considers network services that bind identifiers in the course of delivering messages, and also persistent, point-to-point connections made in the context of such bindin...
We describe an algebra for composing automata in which the actions have probabilities. We illustrate by showing how to calculate the probability of reaching deadlock in k steps in...
