Star networks were proposedrecently as an attractive alternative to the well-known hypercube models for interconnection networks. Extensive research has been performed that shows ...
Unstructured overlay networks for peer-to-peer applications combined with stochastic algorithms for clustering and resource location are attractive due to low-maintenance costs and...
Concentration of design effort for current single-chip Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) microprocessors has been directed towards performance. Reliability has not been the primary ...
XOR-based erasure codes are a computationallyefficient means of generating redundancy in storage systems. Some such erasure codes provide irregular fault tolerance: some subsets o...
Dining philosophers is a classic scheduling problem for local mutual exclusion on arbitrary conflict graphs. We establish necessary conditions to solve wait-free dining under even...
