We describe how to control the cumulative use of distributed grid resources by using coordination aware policy decision points (coordinated PDPs) and an SQL database to hold "...
Process algebraic specifications can provide useful support for the architectural design of software systems due to the possibility of analyzing their properties. In addition to th...
Why might B-tree concurrency control still be interesting? For two reasons: (i) currently exploited "real world" approaches are complicated; (ii) simpler proposals are n...
In a recent study, we have shown that in real-time database systems that discard late transactions, optimistic concurrency control outperforms locking. Although the optimistic alg...
Geographically embedded processes with hidden origins are often observable in events they generate. It is common practice in criminological forensics to reverse simple equation-ba...
