RSD (Resource and Service Description) is a software architecture for specifying, registering and accessing resources and services in complex heterogeneous computing environments....
The diversity of computers and networks within a distributed system makes these systems highly heterogeneous. System heterogeneity complicates the design of static applications tha...
Two novel suboptimal algorithms for mutual exclusion in distributed systems are presented. One is based on the modi cation of Maekawa's grid based quorum scheme. The size of ...
Building the hardware for a high-performance distributed computer system is a lot easier than building its software. In this paper we describe a model for programtributed systems ...
