Many modern software systems are often large, distributed, written in more than one programming language, and developed using pre-built components. This paper presents the results...
The prediction of collisions amongst N rigid objects may be reduced to a series of computations of the time to first contact for all pairs of objects. Simple enclosing bounds and...
This paper reports our experiences on the Scalable Network Of Workstation (SNOW) project, which implements a novel methodology to support user-level process migration for traditio...
A number of solutions have been proposed for the problem of mutual exclusion in distributed systems. Some of these approaches have since been extended to a prioritized environment...
Consider a set of shared objects in a distributed network, where several copies of each object may exist at any given time. To ensure both fast access to the objects as well as e ...
