Relaxed memory consistency models, such as release consistency, were introduced in order to reduce the impact of remote memory access latency in both software and hardware distrib...
The need to continue to work in a mobile environment raises the problem of data availability in the presence of disconnections. Our approach aiming at solving this problem is to m...
—In a sensor network, in practice, the communication among sensors is subject to: 1) errors that can cause failures of links among sensors at random times; 2) costs; and 3) const...
A significant challenge for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems is maintaining the correctness and consistency of their global data structures and shared contents as peers independently a...
Quality of data plays a very important role in any scientific research. In this paper we present some of the challenges that we face in managing and maintaining data quality for a...
