his paper determines the computational strenght of the shared memory abstraction (a register) emulated over a message passing system, and compares it with fundamental message passing abstractions like consensus and various forms of reliable broadcast. We i ...
This paper presents a multicast algorithm for peer-to-peer dissemination of events in a distributed topic-based publish-subscribe system, where processes publish events of certain topics, organized in a hierarchy, and expect events of topics they subscribe ...

A shared memory abstraction can be robustly emulated over an asynchronous message passing system where any process can fail by crashing and possibly recover (crash-recovery model), by having (a) the processes exchange messages to synchronize their read and ...
This paper presents a proposal of a language, based on synchronous active objects that introduces the CSP primitives into Java. The proposal does not use channels to realise the inter-process communications, but is shown to offer the same expressive power ...
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 ...
This contribution analyses the arguments of students in a learning activity entitled "Argue Graph". This activity is intended to make students understand the relationship between learning theories and design choices in courseware development. The analysis ...
We develop an axiomatic approach to the theory of Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces and we show that this axiomatic construction covers the main known examples (Hajlasz Sobolev spaces, weighted Sobolev spaces, Upper-radients, etc). We then introduce ...
A device interface for communicating between a processor system and a separate device employs cacheable control registers, both to indicate the receipt of a message and to receive messages to be transmitted. The data structure of the cacheable control regi ...
This paper defines the fault-tolerant mutual exclusion problem in a message-passing asynchronous system and determines the weakest failure detector to solve the problem. This failure detector, which we call the trusting failure detector, and which we denot ...
