Single sign-on is critical for the usability of distributed systems. While there are several authentication mechanisms which support single sign-on (e.g. Kerberos and X.509), it m...
Abstract. There are a range of abstractions used for both modelling and proof modern computational systems. While these abstractions may have been devised for specific purposes, t...
Computing systems have become so complex that the IT industry recognizes the necessity of deliberative methods to make these systems self-configuring, self-healing, selfoptimizin...
Abstract. Global computing applications co-ordinate distributed computations across widely-dispersed hosts. Such systems present formidable design and implementation challenges to ...
