- Performancestudiesof concurrencycontrol algorithms for conventional database systems have shown that, under most operating circumstances, locking protocols outperform optimistic ...
Database systems for real-time applications must satisfy timing constraints associated with transactions. Typically, a timing constraint is expressed in the form of a deadline and ...
Abstract. In this paper, we address the problem of expressing objectoriented concepts in terms of Petri nets. This is interesting, first, as a possibility of representing concurre...
Increasing complexity of distributed applications and commodity of resources through grids are making the tasks of deploying those applications harder. There is a clear need for s...
In this paper, we describe a framework to program open societies of concurrently operating agents. The agents maintain a subjective theory about their environment and interact with...
