There exists a growing class of distributed applications that require adaptive middleware services, i.e., services that are able to monitor changes in the execution environment an...
The (M, W)-controller, originally studied by Afek, Awerbuch, Plotkin, and Saks, is a basic distributed tool that an abstraction for managing the consumption of a global resource i...
stractions underlying distributed computing. We attempted to keep our preaims at an abstract and general level. In this column, we make those claims more concrete. More precisely, ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of supporting fault tolerance for adaptive and time-critical applications in heterogeneous and unreliable grid computing environments. Our g...
—We present an embedded software application for the real-time estimation of building occupancy using a network of video cameras. We analyze a series of alternative decomposition...
