Distributed execution of logic programs requires a match of granularity between a program and the distributed multi-processor it runs on to exploit its potential for performance f...
The integration of system and SW functions for efciency, performance and especially dependability is of interest from a research and system design perspective. In this paper, we p...
This paper considers the problem of key agreement in a group setting with highly-dynamic group member population. A protocol suite, called CLIQUES, is developed by extending the w...
This paper describes the design of a scripting language aimed at expressing task (unit of computation) composition and inter-task dependencies of distributed applications whose ex...
Fast remote procedure call (RPC) is a major concern for distributed systems. Many studies aimed at efficient RPC consist of either new implementations of the RPC paradigm or manua...
This paper introduces a mechanism for establishing policies for electronic commerce in a uni ed and secure manner. A commercial policy can be viewed as the embodiment of a contrac...
With the advancement of wireless network and mobile computing, there is an increasing need to build a mobile le system that can perform e ciently and correctly for accessing onlin...
We address the problem of efficient circuit switching in wide area networks. The solution provided is based on finding optimal routes for lightpaths and semilightpaths. A lightpat...
