Abstract. Many distributed applications can be understood in terms of components interacting in an open environment. This interaction is not always uniform as the network may consi...
Consistency is an important issue in Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems. These systems share a set of objects or virtual memory pages. The data sharing enables the applicatio...
The characteristics of ad hoc networks naturally encourage the deployment of distributed services. Although current networks implement group communication methods, they do not sup...
Software engineering has traditionally focussed on functional requirements and how to build software that has few bugs and can be easily maintained. Most design approaches include...
