Online peer production systems have enabled people to coactively create, share, classify, and rate content on an unprecedented scale. This paper describes strong macroscopic regul...
In distributed real-time systems, an application is often modeled as a set of real-time transactions, where each transaction is a chain of precedence-constrained tasks. Each task ...
Symmetric key agreement is significant to security provisioning in sensor networks with resource limitations. A number of pairwise key pre-distribution protocols have been proposed...
The virtual synchrony model for group communication has proven to be a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. Implementations of virtual synchrony usually requir...
