We present the design and implementation of a compiler that, given high-level multiparty session descriptions, generates custom cryptographic protocols. Our sessions specify pre-a...
Concurrent programming languages should be a good fit for embedded systems because they match the intrinsic parallelism of their architectures and environments. Unfortunately, typ...
This paper describes a novel approach to fault-tolerance in distributed object-based systems. It uses the fragmented-object model to integrate replication mechanisms into distribut...
The next generation of software systems will be highly distributed, component-based and service-oriented. They will need to operate in unattended mode and possibly in hostile envi...
