We examine the task of concurrently computing alternative solutions to a problem. We restrict our interest to the case where only one of the solutions is needed; in this case we n...
Optimistic synchronization allows concurrent execution of critical sections while performing dynamic conflict detection and recovery. Optimistic synchronization will increase perf...
Software systems need to evolve as business requirements, technology and environment change. As software is modified to accommodate the required changes, its structure deteriorate...
In this paper, we investigate the problem of increasing the threshold parameter of the Shamir (t, n)-threshold scheme without interacting with the dealer. Our construction will re...
The use of proxies for local error recovery and congestion control is a scalable technique used to overcome a number of wellknown problems in Reliable Multicast (RM). The idea is ...
