Communication delay is a key source of uncertainty in distributed systems. Existing approaches to reduce this uncertainty focus on maintaining sufficient surplus bandwidth; appli...
We propose augmenting secure boot with a mechanism to protect against compromises to field-upgradeable devices. In particular, secure boot standards should verify the firmware o...
A general model for the coevolution of cooperating species is presented. This model is instantiated and tested in the domain of function optimization, and compared with a tradition...
We have de ne a network programming model called Mobile Assistant Programming (MAP) for development and execution of communication applications in large scale networks of heteroge...
