Numerous mathematical approaches have been proposed to determine the optimal checkpoint interval for minimizing total execution time of an application in the presence of failures....
The paper presents the design of a software infrastructure that can support negotiation and competition among buyers and sellers of goods (auctioning) over the Internet. The goals...
In CORBA-based applications that depend on object replication for fault tolerance, inconsistencies in the states of the replicas of an object can arise when concurrent threads wit...

In order for mobile agents to be accepted as a basic technology for enabling electronic commerce, proper security mechanisms must be developed. Hosts must be protected from malici...
We study how to efficiently diffuse updates to a large distributed system of data replicas, some of which may exhibit arbitrary (Byzantine) failures. We assume that strictly fewer...
This paper describes the design and implementation of a fault-tolerant CORBA naming service - CosNamingFT. Every CORBA object is accessed through its Interoperable Object Referenc...

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 ...
