Abstract. We first consider adaptive serial diagnosis for multiprocessor systems. We present an adaptive diagnosis algorithm using N + t − 1 tests, which is the smallest possibl...
Engineering design methodology recommends designing a system as follows: Start with an unambiguous speci cation, partition the system into blocks, specify the functionality of eac...
Abstract. Membership queries are basic predicate operations that apply to datasets. Quantifications of such queries express global properties between datasets, including subset inc...
Abstract Many reliable distributed systems are consensusbased and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free synchronous periods, and a slower recovery m...
Abstract-- This paper is concerned with passwordauthenticated key agreement protocols. Designing such protocols represents an interesting challenge since there is no standard way o...
