An error-correcting code is said to be locally testable if it has an efficient spot-checking procedure that can distinguish codewords from strings that are far from every codeword...
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are a class of networks characterized by lack of guaranteed connectivity, typically low frequency of encounters between DTN nodes and long propagatio...
The use of reflection becomes today popular for the implementation of non-functional mechanisms such as for fault-tolerance. The main benefits of reflection are separation of conc...
A major challenge facing grid applications is the appropriate handling of failures. In this paper we address the problem of making parallel Java applications based on Remote Method...
Some safety-critical distributed embedded systems may need to use centralized components to achieve certain dependability properties. The difficulty in combining centralized and d...
