Multiprocessor systems should exist in the the larger context of distributed systems, allowing multiprocessor resources to be shared by those that need them. Unfortunately, typica...
— In recent years, idempotent methods (specifically, max-plus methods) have been developed for solution of nonlinear control problems. It was thought that idempotent linearity o...
e-Science has much to benefit from the emerging field of grid computing. However, construction of e-Science grids is a complex and inefficient undertaking. In particular, deployme...
In this paper, we investigate the roles of replication vs. repair to achieve durability in large-scale distributed storage systems. Specifically, we address the fundamental questio...
There are many applications for Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC), but practical adoption is still an issue. One reason is that the business model of the application does not m...
