In this paper we define the Weak Mutual Exclusion (WME) problem. Analogously to classical Distributed Mutual Exclusion (DME), WME serializes the accesses to a shared resource. Di...
This paper is a contribution to the inception of multiple tokens in solving distributed mutual exclusion problem. The proposed algorithm is based on the token ring approach and al...
A lease is a token which grants its owner exclusive access to a resource for a defined span of time. In order to be able to tolerate failures, leases need to be coordinated by di...
Every-day, the postal sorting systems diffuse several tons of mails. It is noted that the principal origin of mail rejection is related to the failure of address-block localizatio...
— In large-scale distributed execution environments such as multicluster systems and grids, resource availability may vary due to resource failures and because resources may be a...
