Protocol composition frameworks provide off-the-shelf composable protocols to simplify the development of custom protocol stacks. All recent protocol frameworks use a general-purp...
This paper presents a new algorithm for a reconfigurable distributed domain-oriented atomic object service, called DO-RAMBO, which stands for Domain-Oriented Reconfigurable Atom...

The Kasumi block cipher provides integrity and confidentiality services for 3G wireless networks, but it also forms a bottleneck due to its computational overhead. Especially in ...
Context-aware applications rely on the ability to perceive the state of the surrounding environment. In this paper, we address a class of such applications where real-time guarant...
Large-scale and dynamically changing distributed systems such as the Grid, peer-to-peer overlays, etc., need to collect several kinds of global statistics in a decentralized manne...
A recent theoretical result proposed Sigma, a novel GM protocol that forms views using a singleround of message exchange. Prior GM protocols have required more rounds in the worst...
Datacenters are complex environments consisting of thousands of failure-prone commodity components connected by fast, high-capacity interconnects. The software running on such dat...
