We study the power of reliable anonymous distributed systems, where processes do not fail, do not have identifiers, and run identical programmes. We are interested specifically i...
The paper studies the impact of several lock manager designs on the overhead imposed to a persistent programming language by automated object locking. Our study reveals that a loc...
We introduce a new object, BH, and prove that a system with one BH object and single-writer Registers has the same computational power as a system with countably many commutative a...
Location-aware environments are characterized by a large number of objects and a large number of continuous queries. Both the objects and continuous queries may change their locati...
