This article describes a mathematical framework for characterizing cooperativity in complex systems subject to evolutionary pressures. This framework uses three foundational compo...
One of the main challenges in Grid computing is efficient allocation of resources (CPU-hours, network bandwidth, etc.) to the tasks submitted by users. Due to the lack of centrali...
Abstract. We present a general method to prove security properties of cryptographic protocols against active adversaries, when the messages exchanged by the honest parties are arbi...
Many mathematical models have been proposed to evaluate the execution performance of an application with and without checkpointing in the presence of failures. They assume that th...
Grid computing and cluster computing platforms are becoming the primary development platforms for pervasive computing. The primary problem associated with both computational grids...
