Most complex systems today contain software, and systems failures activated by software faults can provide lessons for software development practices and software quality assuranc...
This article describes a mathematical framework for characterizing cooperativity in complex systems subject to evolutionary pressures. This framework uses three foundational compo...
In this paper, we propose an analytic approach of modeling a closed-loop network with multiple feedback loops using fluid-flow approximation. Specifically, we model building bl...
—There is an ever-increasing demand for more complex transactions and higher throughputs in transaction processing systems leading to higher degrees of transaction concurrency an...
Concurrency control is a core component in optimistic replication systems. To detect concurrent updates, the system associates each replicated object with metadata, such as, versi...
