This paper presents a general model to study the medium access control (MAC) layer performance and equilibrium of WLANs consisting of nodes with different MAC parameters (e.g., ba...
In many systems, items of information have owners associated with them. An owner of an item of information may want the system to enforce a policy that restricts use of that infor...
Abstract. We present a formal system that models programmable abstractions for access control. Composite abstractions and patterns of arbitrary complexity are modeled as a configu...
This paper reports on a practical implementation of a context mediator for the fixed income securities industry. We describe industry circumstances and the data and calculation se...
Scientific workflows are increasingly used for rapid integration of existing algorithms to form larger and more comgrams. Such workflows promise to provide more abstract, yet execu...
