Distributed computing is reshaping the way people think about and do daily life activities. On-line ticket reservation, electronic commerce, and telebanking are examples of services that would be hardly imaginable without distributed computing. Nevertheles ...
This paper describes a new consensus algorithm for the asynchronous message passing system model augmented with an unreliable failure detector abstraction: channels are reliable, processes can fail by crashing, and the detection of crashes are not reliable ...
The one-step conversion of cellulose to C6-alcs. via green and energy efficient approaches has, as far as we are aware, not been reported. Such a process presents a considerable challenge, the two key problems being (1) finding a suitable solvent that diss ...
Recently it has been observed that communications using chaos show best performance if the information production related to the chaos in the transmitter is controlled and used for the payload of the communication \cite{Schimming:Nolta:2002}. In the case o ...
Atomic broadcast primitives are often proposed as a mechanism to allow fault-tolerant cooperation between sites in a distributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a message can be delivered makes it difficult to implement high performance, s ...
Explicit communication semantics are often considered essential for rich interaction between heterogeneous automated systems. While extensive work on semantic models has been carried out, much of this work remains to be tested in real open environments. Th ...
This paper reports on four experimental studies concerning regard to how people use space so as to solve problems collaboratively in virtual environments. Prior to presenting the results, it summarizes the wide range of literature concerning social uses of ...
The paper addresses the cost of consensus algorithms. It has been shown that in the best case, consensus can be solved in two communication steps with f < n/2, and in one communication step with f < n/3 (f is the maximum number of faulty processes). This l ...
Atomic broadcast primitives are often proposed as a mechanism to allow fault-tolerant cooperation between sites in a distributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a message can be delivered makes it difficult to implement high performance, s ...
Railways and mass transit transportation systems are experiencing a new growth that will have an important social impact in the global transport domain. Therefore new important steps are required to advance the urgent needs, such as interoperability at tra ...
