Interactions between agents are traditionally specified as interaction protocols using notations such as Petri nets, AUML, or finite state machines. These protocols are a poor ...
Abstract. This paper proposes a novel scheme, named ER-TCP, which transparently masks the failures happened on the server nodes in a cluster from clients at TCP connection granular...
Abstract. In order to construct and deploy massively multiagent systems, we must address one of the fundamental issues of distributed systems, the possibility of partial failures. ...
In recent years there has been an increasing demand to build ”soft” real-time applications on top of asynchronous distributed systems. Designing and implementing such applicat...
Aggressive technology scaling has an ever-increasing adverse impact on the lifetime reliability of microprocessors. This paper proposes a novel simulation framework for evaluating...
