: We present an extension of the programming-by-contract (PBC) paradigm to a concurrent and distributed environment. Classical PBC is characterized by absolute conformance of code ...

Building the hardware for a high-performance distributed computer system is a lot easier than building its software. In this paper we describe a model for programtributed systems ...

Existing approaches to debugging distributed systems involve a cycle of passive observation followed by computation replaying. We propose predicate control as an active approach t...
— Reprogramming node software over-the-air is an essential requirement in many wireless sensor network applications due to the inaccessibility of the deployed sensor nodes. Trans...
