Trusted computing (e.g. TCPA and Microsoft’s NextGeneration Secure Computing Base) has been one of the most talked about and least understood technologies in the computing commu...
Distributed systems are inherently complex, and therefore difficult to design and develop. Experience shows that new technologies—such as components, aspects, and application f...
Distributed systems require strategies to detect and recover from failures. Many protocols for distributed systems employ a strategy based on leases, which grant a leaseholder acc...

Abstract. When dealing with distributed systems, one of the most important problems that has to be addressed is concurrency. Distributed systems are inherently concurrent, distribu...
The interesting properties of P2P systems (high availability despite peer volatility, support for heterogeneous architectures, high scalability, etc.) make them attractive for dist...
Endeca’s approach to processing search queries in a distributed computing environment is predicated on concerns of correctness, scalability, and flexibility in deployment. Using...
Product Distribution (PD) theory was recently developed as a framework for analyzing and optimizing distributed systems. In this paper we demonstrate its use for adaptive distribu...
This paper introduces a new programming model for distributed systems, distributed composite objects (DCO), to meet efficient implementation, transparency, and performance demands ...
Supporting security in distributed systems is becoming more important with the ongoing work in grids, distributed middlewares and web services. Decentralised security architecture...
Multi-agent systems are a kind of concurrent distributed systems. In this work, some guidelines on how to create multi-agent systems using Erlang are presented. The modelled syste...
