Gossip, also known as epidemic dissemination, is becoming an increasingly popular technique in distributed systems. Yet, it has remained a partially open question: how robust are such protocols? We consider a natural extension of the random phone-call mode ...
Presents a novel extension to the C++ programming language, allowing powerful expression of concurrency and synchronization in an object-oriented environment. The principal advantages of this extension over existing alternatives are its powerful, yet simpl ...
Large scale systems are becoming more and more common today. Many distributed applications are emerging that use the capability of world-wide internetworking. Since many applications require availability and consistency in the presence of failures, an adeq ...
A wireless sensor network designates a system composed of numerous sensor nodes distributed over an area in order to collect information. The sensor nodes communicate wirelessly with each other in order to self-organize into a multi-hop network, collaborat ...
Current techniques for handling events, such as the 'callback functions' approach, present some limitations to the development of Network Software, Communication Layered Protocols, Graphical Interfaces for Real-Time Applications and Multimedia. These techn ...
This thesis is concerned with two security mechanisms: authenticated key transport and rational exchange protocols. These mechanisms are potential building blocks in the security architecture of a range of different services. Authenticated key transport pr ...
Wireless ad hoc networks are inherently vulnerable, as any node can disrupt the communication of potentially any other node in the network. Many solutions to this problem have been proposed. In this paper, we take a fresh and comprehensive approach, simult ...
Since the bandwidth-delay products of Internet links keep increasing, issues with TCP's convergence time, throughput, and amount of queuing in these environments are becoming more pressing. As we move toward the next-generation Internet, it is important to ...
