Abstract. In the verification of concurrent systems involving probabilities, the aim is to find out the maximum/minimum probability that a given event occurs (examples of such ev...
Vector timestamps provide a way of recording the causal relationships between events in a distributed computation. We draw attention to a limitation of such timestamps when used t...
: Middleware technologies such as CORBA and DCOM have been developed as a means of tackling heterogeneity and complexity problems inherent in distributed systems. However, more wor...
Service-based approaches (such as Web Services and the Open Grid Services Architecture) have gained considerable attention recently for supporting distributed application developme...
