Abstract. For large distributed systems built from inexpensive components, one expects to see incessant failures. This paper proposes two models for such faults and analyzes two we...
We consider setting up sleep scheduling in sensor networks. We formulate the problem as an instance of the fractional domatic partition problem and obtain a distributed approximati...
We describe an approach to the analysis of protocols for wireless sensor networks in scenarios with mobile nodes and dynamic link quality. The approach is based on the theorem prov...
Abstract. This paper analyses the robustness of self-organizing (engineered) systems to perturbations (faults or environmental changes). It considers that a self-organizing system ...
The emergence of large-scale distributed applications based on many-to-many communication models, e.g., broadcast and decentralized group communication, has an important impact on ...
High-interaction honeypots are relevant to provide rich and useful information obtained from attackers. Honeypots come in different flavors with respect to their interaction pote...
In recent years peer-to-peer (P2P) technology has been adopted by Internet-based malware as a fault tolerant and scalable communication medium for self-organization and survival. I...
This paper studies the development of autonomic and secure Virtual Organisations (VOs) when following the chemical-programming paradigm. We have selected the Higher-Order Chemical ...
Abstract. We present schemes for providing anonymous transactions while privacy and anonymity are preserved, providing user anonymous authentication in distributed networks such as...
