— In this article we tackle the problem of scheduling a dynamically generated DAG of multi-processor tasks (M-tasks). At first, we outline the need of such a scheduling approach...
Abstract— The IEEE 802.16 mesh mode supports two scheduling mechanisms, namely centralized scheduling and distributed scheduling. Centralized scheduling is based on a routing tre...
Security is a common problem in completely decentralized peer-to-peer systems. Although several suggestions exist on how to create a secure key-based routing protocol, a practicab...
Abstract. We provide a framework for distributed systems that impose timing constraints on their executions. We propose a timed model of communicating finite-state machines, which...
— We suggest a statistical estimator to measure the extent to which failures propagate in cascading failures such as large blackouts. The estimator is tested on a saturating bran...
