In this paper, we focus on automated techniques to enhance the fault-tolerance of a nonmasking fault-tolerant program to masking. A masking program continually satisfies its spec...
We introduce the hash history mechanism for capturing dependencies among distributed replicas. Hash histories, consisting of a directed graph of version hashes, are independent of...
Group communications systems have been designed to provide an infrastructure for fault-tolerance in distributed systems, including wide-area systems. In our work on master-worker ...
This paper presents a new method to control the delay performance for high rate heterogeneous real-time traffic flows based on a novel traffic control algorithm which is a gene...
With the proliferation of wireless devices, mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) has become a very exciting and important technology due to its characteristics of open medium and dyna...
We introduce obstruction-freedom, a new nonblocking property for shared data structure implementations. This property is strong enough to avoid the problems associated with locks,...
In this paper, we present a real-time communication protocol for sensor networks, called SPEED. The protocol provides three types of real-time communication services, namely, real...

Many value-added and content delivery services are being offered via service level agreements (SLAs). These services can be interconnected to form a service overlay network (SON) ...

In recent years there has been an increasing demand to build ”soft” real-time applications on top of asynchronous distributed systems. Designing and implementing such applicat...
This paper studies the problem of updates in decentralised and self-organising P2P systems in which peers have low online probabilities and only local knowledge. The update strate...
