Communication-induced checkpointing protocols that ensure rollback-dependency trackability (RDT) guarantee important properties to the recovery system without explicit coordination. However, to the best of our knowledge, there was no garbage collection alg ...
Short Message Service (SMS) has become extremely popular in many countries, and represents a multi-billion dollars market. Yet many consumers consider that the price charged by the cellular network operators is too high. In this paper, we explain that ther ...
The Short Messaging Service(SMS) which has become very popular in cellular networks is very highly priced. We show in this paper how self-organizing ad-hoc networks can be used to provide the short messaging service, at a much lower price. We propose a rou ...

A universal construction is an algorithm that transforms any object with a sequential specification into a wait-free and linearizable implementation of that object. This paper presents a novel universal construction algorithm for a message-passing system w ...
Using virtual humans to represent participants promotes realism in networked VEs. Different message types used to animate the human body and face impose varying network requirements, as analyzed here ...
Performance Evaluation of a Consensus Algorithm with Petri Nets N. Sergent This paper presents an application of Hierarchical Coloured Timed Petri Nets to the modeling, the evaluation and the improvement of the performance of a distributed consensus algori ...
Probabilistic Guarantees on the Termination Time of a Consensus Algorithm in Asynchronous Systems N. Sergent This paper is concerned with an application of Hierarchical Coloured Timed Petri Nets to the modelling and the performance evaluation of a distribu ...
We present a number of experiments showing that for compute-intensive applications executing in parallel on clusters of workstations, message logging has higher failure-free overhead than coordinated checkpointing. Message logging protocols, however, resul ...
