Secure, fault-tolerant distributed systems are difficult to build, to validate, and to operate. Conservative design for such systems dictates that their security and fault toleran...
Distributed systems generally require their component parts to interact cooperatively, in order for the system as a whole to function effectively. For any given activity, several ...
A class of trust-region algorithms is developed and analyzed for the solution of minimization problems with nonlinear inequality constraints. Based on composite-step trust region ...
—Reputation mechanisms are essential for online transactions, where the parties have little prior experience with one another. This is especially true when transactions result in...
Abstract— Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have critical applications in diverse domains like environmental monitoring and military operations where accurate location of sensors i...
