This paper proposes a new technique called CORBAas-needed to improve the performance of distributed CORBA applications. CORBA-as-needed allows distributed CORBA applications to ...
In this work we consider the problem of estimating execution time of distributed applications. The main difficulty stems from the communication delays and shared nature of the comp...
Using simulation environments to support mobile distributed application development has many benefits. Since mobile devices can be modeled as autonomous intelligent agents, the mu...
While inherent resource redundancies in distributed applications facilitate gracefully degradable services, methods to enhance their dependability may have subtle, yet significan...
