In our paper we argue that the building of trust in electronic commerce depends only partly on technical security and the knowledge of security gaps and ways of closing them. It i...
Software distributed shared memory (DSM) improves the programmability of message-passing machines and workclusters by providing a shared memory abstract (i.e., a coherent global a...
Ad-hoc wireless networks have no wired component, and may have unpredictable mobility pattern. Such networks can get partitioned and reconnected several times. One possible approa...

Hybrid systems like computer-controlled chemical plants are typical safety critical distributed systems. In present practice, the safety of hybrid systems is guaranteed by hazard ...
Availability in Process Support Systems (PSS) can be achieved by using standby mechanisms that allow a backup server to take over in case a primary server fails. These mechanisms,...
Failures of all forms happen: from losing single network packets to site-wide disasters. Since businesses rely heavily on their data, it is imperative that failures require minima...
Validating distributed systems is particularly difficult, since failures may occur due to a correlated occurrence of faults in different parts of the system. This paper describes ...
