evel of abstraction, we can represent a workflow as a directed graph with operators (or tasks) at the vertices (see Figure 1). Each operator takes inputs from data sources or from ...
Hybrid systems like computer-controlled chemical plants are typical safety critical distributed systems. In present practice, the safety of hybrid systems is guaranteed by hazard ...
Unstructured peer-to-peer infrastructure has been widely employed to support large-scale distributed applications. Many of these applications, such as locationbased services and m...
— Robots that can interact naturally with humans require the integration and coordination of many different components with heavy computational demands. We argue that an architec...
In the process of developing P2P systems simulation has proved to be an essential tool for the evaluation of existing and conceived P2P systems. So far, in practice there has been...
