In mobile computing environments, handheld devices with low functionality restrict the services provided for mobile users. We propose a new concept of collaborative browsing, wher...
Grid computing intends to share heterogeneous resources in dynamic service-based environments. This kind of systems has the major advantages of enabling rapid composition of distr...
We propose a new algorithm for recovering asynchronously from failures in a distributed computation. Our algorithm is based on two novel concepts - a fault-tolerant vector clock t...
Recently, decentralized publish-subscribe (pub-sub) systems have gained popularity as a scalable asynchronous messaging paradigm over wide-area networks. Most existing pub-sub sys...

Based on the thermodynamic concept of a reservoir, we investigate a computational model for interaction with unresolved degrees of freedom (a thermal bath). We assume that a finite...
