Abstract. In Distributed Problem-solving (DPS) systems a group of purposefully designed computational agents interact and co-ordinate their activities so as to jointly achieve a gl...
Due to the limited energy supplies of nodes in many applications like wireless sensor networks, energy efficiency is crucial for extending the lifetime of these networks. This pape...
Service-oriented architectures (SOA) will provide the basis of the next generation of distributed software systems, and have already gained enormous traction in the industry throu...
The current standard in governing distributed transaction termination is the so-called Two-Phase Commit protocol (2PC). The first phase of 2PC is a voting phase, where the partici...
