This paper describes a novel compile-time list-based task scheduling algorithm for distributed-memory systems, called Fast Load Balancing (FLB). Compared to other typical list sch...
Designing highly dependable systems requires a good understanding of failure characteristics. Unfortunately, little raw data on failures in large IT installations is publicly avai...
Object orientation and component-based development have both proven useful for the elaboration of open distributed systems. These paradigms are offered by the Creol language. Creo...
We consider asynchronous message-passing systems in which some links are timely and processes may crash. Each run defines a timeliness graph among correct processes: (p, q) is an e...
The purpose of this work is to automate the analysis of ad hoc routing protocols in the presence of attackers. To this end, a formal model of protocol behavior is developed in whi...
