We consider efficient real-time communication mechanisms for applications in unreliable and partitionable networks, where network partitions can occur unpredictably and nodes can ...
Computer systems increasingly rely on dynamic, phasebased system management techniques, in which system hardware and software parameters may be altered or tuned at runtime for dif...
In this paper, we present two new centralized group key management protocols based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT). By shifting more computing load onto the key server we o...

: We analyze D/G/1 and M/G/1 queues where the service time for an arrival depends on the amount of work in the system upon arrival. The models are motivated by the bit dropping met...
: Since the advent of Gnutella, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocols have matured towards a fundamental design element for large-scale, self-organising distributed systems. Many research e...
