We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) for distributed computing has become increasingly popular due to the great advantage that distributed applications can be rapidly synthesized w...

We introduce subsequence invariants, which characterize the behavior of a concurrent system in terms of the occurrences of synchronization events. Unlike state invariants, which re...
Wireless multi-hop networks are particularly susceptible to attacks based on flooding and the interception, tampering with, and forging of packets. Thus, reliable communication in...
