In Floyd-Hoare logic, programs are dynamic while assertions are static (hold at states). In action logic the two notions become one, with programs viewed as on-the-fly assertions ...
We propose the πD -calculus, a process calculus that can flexibly model fine-grained control of resource access in distributed computation, with a type system that statically pr...
In pervasive computing environments, applications find themselves in constantly changing operating conditions. Such applications often need to discover locally available resources ...
The emergence of personal portable devices, such as PDA's and Mobile phones, with considerable processing and communication capabilities, has led to a desire to use various co...
Abstract—We study the problem of dynamic resource allocation to clustered Web applications. We extend application server middleware with the ability to automatically decide the s...
