Abstract — Since sensor/actuator networks are to be used in error-prone environments, it is required that media access protocols for such networks are tolerant to failures. Field...
HARNESS is an experimental metacomputing system that supports dynamic software reconfiguration, both of the resources that comprise the virtual machine and the services provided t...
FUSE is a lightweight failure notification service for building distributed systems. Distributed systems built with FUSE are guaranteed that failure notifications never fail. When...

The Robust Self-Configuring Embedded Systems (RoSES) project seeks to achieve graceful degradation through software reconfiguration. To accomplish this goal, systems must automati...
We study the problem of achieving reliable communication with quiescent algorithms (i.e., algorithms that eventually stop sending messages) in asynchronous systems with process cra...
