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...
Many real-time application domains can benefit from flexible and open distributed architectures, such as those defined by the CORBA specification. CORBA is an architecture for...

Abstract. Given (deterministic) ciphers E and E that can encipher messages of l and n bits, respectively, we construct a cipher E∗ = XLS[E, E] that can encipher messages of l + s...
Clustering of data has numerous applications and has been studied extensively. It is very important in Bioinformatics and data mining. Though many parallel algorithms have been des...
DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) is a deterministic global optimization algorithm for bound-constrained problems. The algorithm, based on a space-partitioning scheme, performs both gl...
