Availability is a storage system property that is both highly desired and yet minimally engineered. While many systems provide mechanisms to improve availability
This paper focuses on load management in looselycoupled federated distributed systems. We present a distributed mechanism for moving load between autonomous participants using bil...

In the present paper a novel system for scalable and personalised media management and its architecture is presented. The proposed solution is based on the creation of a secure an...
This paper examines the denial of service attacks that an 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access network is susceptible to at the physical and medium access control layers. In our threa...
In this paper we compare different authentication techniques that may be used in order to reduce the time and resources required to perform a handover: namely, re-authentication a...
