Communication overhead is one of the most important factors affecting the performance of message passing multicomputers. We present evidence (through the analysis of several paral...
A data-accumulating algorithm (d-algorithm for short) works on an input considered as a virtually endless stream. The computation terminates when all the currently arrived data ha...
The diversity of computers and networks within a distributed system makes these systems highly heterogeneous. System heterogeneity complicates the design of static applications tha...
In the distributed shipboard environment of interest to the United States Navy, there is an increasing interest in the use of multicast communications to reduce bandwidth consumpti...
Abstract. In this paper we describe how the language of Communicating Sequential Processes CSP has been applied to the analysis of a transport layer protocol used in the implementa...
