Programmers of large-scale trusted systems need tools to simplify tasks such as replicating services or data. Group communication systems achieve this via various flavors of relia...
While You're Away (WYA) is a distributed system that aggregates the computational power of individual computer systems. WYA introduces the notion of Roaming Computations - Ja...
In this paper we discuss the behavior of the replacement mechanism of well-known COMA protocols applied to a loosely-coupled multicomputer system sharing a common bus. We also pres...
In the context of communication networks with no QoS guarantees, we describe the problem of streaming layer encoded multimedia presentation data as a two-phase decision problem. W...
Performance of distributed applications largely depends on the mapping of their components on the underlying architecture. On one mponent-based approaches provide an abstraction su...
