Model checking by exhaustive state space enumeration is one of the most developed analysis methods for distributed event systems. Its main problem—the size of the state spaces—...
We examine computing alternative solutions to a problem in parallel to improve response time. Problems with exploring multiple alternatives in parallel include (1) side-effects an...
This paper investigates the problem of designing decentralized representations to support monitoring and inferences in sensor networks. State-space models of physical phenomena su...

For half a century since computers came into existence, the goal of finding elegant and efficient algorithms to solve "simple" (welldefined and well-structured) problems ...
Program understanding is central to the development of distributed computations, from the initial coding phase, through testing and debugging, to maintenance and support. Our goal...
