We show that CSMA is able to spontaneously synchronize transmissions in a wireless network with constant-size packets, and that this property can be used to devise efficient synch...
This paper focuses on load management in looselycoupled federated distributed systems. We present a distributed mechanism for moving load between autonomous participants using bil...

A cellular automaton is a discrete, dynamical system composed of very simple, uniformly interconnected cells. Cellular automata may be seen as an extreme form of simple, localized...
We present SecureBlox, a declarative system that unifies a distributed query processor with a security policy framework. SecureBlox decouples security concerns from system speci...

A novel random text generation model is introduced. Unlike in previous random text models, that mainly aim at producing a Zipfian distribution of word frequencies, our model also ...
