Abstract. The concept of unreliable failure detectors for reliable distributed systems was introduced by Chandra and Toueg as a fine-grained means to add weak forms of synchrony i...
In the framework of distributed object systems, this paper presents the concepts and an implementation of an overlapping mechanism between communication and computation. This mecha...
This paper discusses the selection of available components during high-level synthesis. We stress the importance of describing the behaviour of available components in some langua...
We present a new tableaux calculus deciding the ABox consistency problem for the expressive description logic ALCNHR+ . Prominent language features of ALCNHR+ are number restricti...
Using the concept of discrete noiseless channels, it was shown by Shannon in A Mathematical Theory of Communication that the ultimate performance of an encoder for a constrained sy...
