We describe a technique for writing distributed applications which manage themselves over one or more utility computing infrastructures: by dynamically acquiring new computational...

In this paper, we follow the role-based access control (RBAC) approach and extend it to provide for the dynamic association of roles with users. In our framework, privileges assoc...

We utilize the situation calculus to develop a logical model of hypertext systems. The work builds upon the earlier work of Bieber and Kimbrough in the logical modeling of hyperte...
The Ambient Calculus has been recently proposed as a model of mobility of agents in a dynamically changing hierarchy of domains. In this paper, we describe the implementation of t...
