As networks become all-pervasive the importance of efficient information gathering for purposes such as monitoring, fault diagnosis, and performance evaluation can only increase. E...
Abstract—In distributed environments, access control decisions depend on statements of multiple agents rather than only one central trusted party. However, existing policy langua...
Software systems are becoming more open, distributed, pervasive, and connected. In such systems, the relationships between loosely-coupled application elements become non-determini...
Distributed test setups for efficient load, performance, scalability, interworking, and end-to-end tests are gaining importance for the assessment of distributed communicating syst...
This paper presents a component model for building distributed applications with fault-tolerance requirements. The AFT-CCM model selects the configuration of replicated services d...
