In distributed object systems, remote method inattempts to abstract communication between di erent machines to the level of object method invocation. Link failure in such systems ...
This paper introduces volume leases as a mechanism for providing cache consistency for large-scale, geographically distributed networks. Volume leases are a variation of leases, w...

Market mechanisms solve distributed scheduling problems by allocating the scheduled resources according to market prices. We model distributed scheduling as a discrete resource al...

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...
