Mutual exclusion is used to coordinate access to shared resources by concurrent processes. k-Exclusion is a variant of mutual exclusion in which up to k processes can simultaneous...
Peer-to-peer systems offer attractive system management properties, including the ability of components that join the network to self-organize; scalability up to tens of thousands...
Conventional methods for state space exploration are limited to the analysis of small systems because they suffer from excessive memory and computational requirements. We have dev...
