The underlying model of distributed systems is that of loosely coupled components r running in parallel and communicating by message passing. Description, construction and evoluti...
With the Distributed File System Replication component, DFS-R, as the central theme, we present selected protocol problems and validation methods encountered during design and deve...
Abstract. In software architecture, components represent the computational units of a system and connectors represent the interactions among those units. Making decisions about the...
