Mediators – used in federated information systems – provide a homogeneous read-only access to a set of autonomous information sources. To achieve semantic integration of the h...
: In a decentralised system the problems of fault tolerance, and in particular error recovery, vary greatly depending on the design assumptions. For example, in a distributed datab...
This paper introduces a design technique for complex robotic systems called interfaces- rst design. Interfaces- rst design develops information interfaces based on the characteris...
