The design of safety-critical systems has typically adopted static techniques to simplify error detection and fault tolerance. However, economic pressure to reduce costs is exposi...
We consider the impact of different communication architectures on the performability (performance + availability) of cluster-based servers. In particular, we use a combination of ...
The emerging mobile wireless environment poses exciting challenges for distributed fault tolerant (FT) computing. This paper proposes a message loggingand recovery protocol on the...
Consider a set of players that are interested in collectively evaluating a set of objects. We develop a collaborative scoring protocol in which each player evaluates a subset of t...
— Motivated by the recent findings of super-diffusive patterns in mobility traces, we investigate the impact of superdiffusive behavior of mobile nodes on contact-based metrics ...
