Increasingly, new applications are being built by composing existing software components rather than by coding a system from scratch. Using this approach, applications can be buil...
Service-based IT infrastructures serve many different business processes on a shared infrastructure in parallel. The automated request execution on the interconnected software com...
Abstract. Predicting the performance of component-based applications is difficult due to the complexity of the underlying component technology. This problem is exacerbated when a m...
This paper considers a technique for composing global (barrier-style) and local (channel scanning) synchronization protocols within a single parallel discrete-event simulation. Com...
We study the question whether the sequential or parallel composition of two functions, each indistinguishable from a random function by non-adaptive distinguishers is secure agains...
