This paper proposes a family of replication protocols based on group communication in order to address some of the concerns expressed by database designers regarding existing repl...
Novel real-time applications require highperformance real-time distributed systems, and therefore high-performance real-time networks. We examine a Hard Real-Time Distributed Mult...
Exceptions are one of the most pervasive problems in process support systems. In installations expected to handle a large number of processes, having exceptions is bound to be a n...
Heartbeat protocols are used by distributed programs to ensure that if a process in a program terminates or fails, then the remaining processes in the program terminate. We presen...
We introduce a new performance metric, called Load Balancing Factor (LBF), to assist programmers with evaluating different tuning alternatives. The LBF metric differs from traditi...
This paper discusses wireless channel allocation problem for data dissemination in mobile computing systems. Methods for accessing data through broadcast and on-demand channels ar...
Ad-hoc networks consist of a set of mobile hosts that communicate using wireless links, without the use of other communication support facilities (such as base stations). The topo...
