If a groupware system is to be effectively used, especially over a wide-are network such as the Internet, where the quality of networking and computing resources are unpredictable...
The design of secure buffer managers for database systems supporting real-time applications with firm deadlines is studied here. We first identify the design challenges and then p...
This paper describes the design and implementation of a multicast transport protocol called RMTP. RMTP provides sequenced, lossless delivery of bulk data from one sender to a grou...
The virtual synchrony model for group communication has proven to be a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. Implementationsof virtual synchrony usually require...
Many important algorithms in computational biology and related subjects rely on the ability to extract and to identify sub-graphs of larger graphs; an example is to find common fun...
