Systems that store objects at a large number of sites require fault-tolerant and timely garbage collection. A popular technique is to trace each site independently using inter-sit...
Recent development in computer hardware has brought more wide-spread emergence of shared memory, multi-core systems. These architectures offer opportunities to speed up various ta...
Distributed applications, especially the ones being I/O intensive, often access the storage subsystem in a non-sequential way (stride requests). Since such behaviors lower the ove...
Abstract. In this paper, we address the problem of expressing objectoriented concepts in terms of Petri nets. This is interesting, first, as a possibility of representing concurre...
This paper reviews the model of interactive Markov chains (IMCs, for short), an extension of labelled transition systems with exponentially delayed transitions. We show that IMCs a...
