We discuss the tensions between intensionality and extensionality of spatial observations in distributed systems, showing that there are natural models where extensional observati...
Decentralized diagnosis of discrete event systems has received a lot of attention to deal with distributed systems or with systems that may be too large to be diagnosed by one cen...
The Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) is a joint standardization effort by ITU-T and ISO/IEC for the specification of large open distributed systems. RM-ODP ...
Service discovery and its automation are some of the key features that a large scale, open distributed system must provide so that clients and users may take advantage of shared re...
Lack of time and capital for software testing is an oft encountered problem in most organizations. The plethora of possible test cases for each software component makes software t...

ion. First described in RFC 707,1 with implementation approaches and details later provided by Andrew Birrell and Bruce Nelson,2 RPC has influenced distributed systems research and...
Synchronous specifications are appealing in the design of large scale hardware and software systems because of their properties that facilitate verification and synthesis. When the...

Abstract-- The need for efficient computation of approximate global state lies at the heart of a wide range of problems in distributed systems. Examples include routing in the Inte...
Development of distributed systems is a difficult task. Declarative programming techniques hold a promising potential for effectively supporting programmer in this challenge. Whil...

Abstract. While distributed systems with transfer of processes have become pervasive, methods for reasoning about their behaviour are underdeveloped. In this paper we develop a bis...
