Understanding the characteristics of information flow in large scale real-time distributed virtual simulations (RT-DVS) is important for the development of network services that a...
Self-management is a key feature of autonomic systems. This often demands the dynamic reconfiguration of a distributed application. An important issue in the reconfiguration proce...
Distributed systems require strategies to detect and recover from failures. Many protocols for distributed systems employ a strategy based on leases, which grant a leaseholder acc...
