The use of good random numbers is essential to the integrity of many mission-critical systems. However, when such systems are replicated for Byzantine fault tolerance, a serious i...
Due to the better utilization of computational and communication resources and the improved coordination of application subsystems, designers of large distributed embedded systems...
— The DECOS architecture aims at combining the advantages of federated and integrated systems. The DECOS architecture divides the overall system into a set of nearly-independent ...
In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
Despite increasingly distributed internet information sources with diverse storage formats and access-control constraints, most of the end applications (e.g., filters and media p...
