Often, parallel and distributed computing systems must operate in an environment replete with uncertainty. Determining a resource allocation that accounts for this uncertainty in ...

The SPIN model checker and its specification language Promela have been used extensively in industry and academia to check logical properties of distributed algorithms and protoc...
We define a logic EpCTL for reasoning about the evolution of probabilistic systems. System states correspond to probability distributions over classical states and the system evo...

A probabilistic system for recognition of individual objects is presented. The objects to recognize are composed of constellations of features, and features from a same object shar...
Distributed systems are typically designed for scale and performance first, which makes it difficult to add security later without affecting the original properties. This paper ...
