Efficiently handling reputation is important in dealing with free-riding, malicious attacks and random failures in self-organized communication systems. At the same time, work in this context is often found to be relevant in many other disciplines, in part ...
Group communication is the basic infrastructure for implementing fault-tolerant replicated servers. While group communication is well understood in the context of static groups (in which the membership does not change), current specifications of dynamic ...
This paper combines various self-stabilization techniques within a replication protocol that ensures eventual consistency in large-scale distributed systems subject to network partitions and asynchrony. A simulation study shows that the resulting protocol ...
Group communication provides one-to-many communication primitives that simplify the development of highly available services. Despite advances in research and numerous prototypes, group communication stays confined to small niches. To facilitate the accept ...
Message-based communication offers potential benefits of providing stronger specification and cleaner separation between components. Compared with shared-memory interactions, message passing has the potential disadvantages of being more expensive (no direc ...
For about 25 years already, automatic thawing agent spraying systems have been a helpful contribution to the task of winter maintenance. These systems allow a quick intervention as soon as a risk of icing of the roadway appears by spraying a liquid thawing ...
The Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a recording of the electrical potentials generated by brain activity on the scalp. It has been used for decades as a non-invasive tool both in fundamental brain research and in clinical diagnosis. But it is now widely used ...
Providing reliable group communication is an ever recurring issue in distributed settings. In mobile ad hoc networks, this issue becomes more significant since all nodes act as peers, while the issue gets even more challenging due to highly dynamic and unp ...
The network-on-chip paradigm is an emerging paradigm that effectively addresses and presumably can overcome the many on-chip interconnection and communication challenges that already exist in today's chips or will likely occur in future chips. Effective on ...
We consider the problem of correlated data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total transmission cost of transporting the information collected by the nodes, to the sink node. Two c ...
