In this chapter, we discuss a widely used fault-tolerant data replication model called virtual synchrony. The model responds to two kinds of needs. First, there is the practical qu...
One of the essential features in modern computer systems is context switching, which allows multiple threads of execution to time-share a limited number of processors. While very ...

Complete algorithms have been proposed to solve problems modelled as distributed constraint optimization (DCOP). However, there are only few attempts to address real world scenari...
Popularity of content in social media is unequally distributed, with some items receiving a disproportionate share of attention from users. Predicting which newly-submitted items ...
The Swendsen-Wang process provides one possible dynamics for the Qstate Potts model in statistical physics. Computer simulations of this process are widely used to estimate the ex...
