Programming in a distributed system is fraught with potential difficulties caused, in part, by the physical distribution of the system itself. By making the distribution of the sy...
Research can rarely be performed on large-scale, distributed systems at the level of thousands of workstations. In this paper, we describe the motivating constraints, design princ...
Many AI problems can be modeled as constraint satisfaction problems (CSP), but many of them are actually dynamic: the set of constraints to consider evolves because of the environ...
In this paper, we address the complex task of initializing an on-line simulation to a current system state collected from an operating physical system. The paper begins by discuss...
Object middleware, such as CORBA, is rapidly gaining acceptance as a means for cost effective and fast development for a wide range of applications in various areas of industry. St...

: Development of distributed systems is complicated by the absence of reliable global timing, concurrency, and nondeterminism. To deal with these obstacles log files are produced b...
Probabilistic inference problems arise naturally in distributed systems such as sensor networks and teams of mobile robots. Inference algorithms that use message passing are a nat...
Modern distributed systems often allow independent development of their components. Successful evolution of such systems depends on the flexibility of component interfaces. This p...
Security is an important element of any system design. Entities supported by a system need to securely interact with each other. The problem gets even more complex in the context ...

The ubiquity of the Internet has stimulated the development of data- rather than processor-intensive applications. Such data-intensive applications include streaming media, intera...
