This paper presents the abstraction of open consensus and argues for its use as an effective component for building reliable agreement protocols in practical asynchronous systems where processes and links can crash and recover. The specification of open co ...
The remote-procedure-call abstraction, including its derivates (underlying, for example, Java RMI, CORBA, and .NET), currently represents one of the most popular paradigms for devising distributed applications. Objects (when acting as servers) are invoked ...
Since its inception Functional Programming, J. McCarthy, has almost universally used the Linked List as the underpinning data structure. This paper introduces a new data structure, the VList, that is compact, thread safe and significantly faster to use tha ...
This paper describes an approach to providing object persistence in object-oriented programming languages without modifying the run-time system or the language itself. By successively applying design patterns such as the Serializer, Factory Method, and Str ...
In this paper we investigate a new way for protecting block ciphers against classes of attacks (including differential and linear cryptanalysis) which is based on the notion of decorrelation distance which is fairly connected to Carter-Wegman's universal h ...
The context of a target can modulate behavioral as well as neural responses to that target. For example, target processing can be suppressed by iso-oriented surrounds whereas it can be facilitated by collinear contextual elements. Here, we present experime ...
The paper describes a system platform for virtual human agent simulations that is able to coherently manage the shared virtual environment. Our “agent common environment” (ACE) provides built-in commands for perception and for acting, while the ...
Obliq is a lexically-scoped, distributed, object-based programming language. In Obliq, the migration of an object is proposed as creating a clone of the object at the target site, whereafter the original object is turned into an alias for the clone. Obliq ...
The poster presents a framework for providing object persistence in object-oriented programming languages without modifying the run-time system or the language itself. The framework does not rely on any kind of special programming language features. It onl ...
This paper presents the abstraction of lazy consensus and argues for its use as an effective component for building distributed agreement protocols in practical asynchronous systems where processes and links can crash and recover. Lazy consensus looks like ...
