Synchronization in distributed systems is expensive because, in general, threads must stall to obtain a lock or to operate on volatile data. Transactional memory, on the other hand...
The mainstream adoption of cluster, grid, and most recently cloud computing models have broadened the applicability of parallel programming from scientific communities to
the bus...
Comparing the expressive power of access control models is recognized as a fundamental problem in computer security. Such comparisons are generally based on simulations between di...
