Recently mobile agent technology has been recognised as a potential tool for realising distributed network fault management. The autonomy and mobility of such agents can help ensu...
We identify here various kinds of failure conditions and robustness issues that arise in context-aware pervasive computing applications. Such conditions are related to failures in...
FUSE is a lightweight failure notification service for building distributed systems. Distributed systems built with FUSE are guaranteed that failure notifications never fail. When...
