This paper presents a simple protocol that provides application processes with an approximate real-time notion. This time notion is very versatile. At one extreme, it behaves at l...
We describe imprecise calendars, a way to organize and schedule clusters of nodes in a computation grid. Imprecise calendars permit the easy and efficient sharing of resources bet...
The duration of time for which each application locks each shared resource is critically important in composing multiple independently-developed applications upon a shared “open...
Abstract. The theory of bulk-synchronous parallel computing has produced a large number of attractive algorithms, which are provably optimal in some sense, but typically require th...

Database queries, in particular, event-driven continuous queries, are useful for many pervasive computing applications, such as video surveillance. In order to enable these applic...
