We consider the problem of network-sensitive service selection (NSSS): finding services that match a particular set of functional and network properties. Current solutions handle...
ct Increasingly, model checking is being applied to more abstract problem domains than the traditional protocol analysis. The extent to which such an approach is able to provide us...
The primary purpose of parallel computation is the fast execution of computational tasks that are too slow to perform sequentially. However, it was shown recently that a second eq...
Recent evidence suggests that some characteristics of computer and telecommunications systems may be well described using heavy tailed distributions — distributions whose tail d...
We discuss four issues concerning the semantics of Message Flow Graphs (MFGs). MFGs are extensively used as pictures of message-passing behavior. One type of MFG, Message Sequence...
