Distributed Computing, the exploitation of idle cycles on pervasive desktop PC systems offers the opportunity to increase the available computing power by orders of magnitude (10x...
The ODP computational viewpoint describes the functionality of a system and its environment, in terms of a configuration of objects which interact at interfaces. Computational obj...
Measuring inconsistency degrees of inconsistent knowledge bases is an important problem as it provides context information for facilitating inconsistency handling. Many methods hav...
My main objective is to point out a fundamental weakness in the conventional conception of computation and suggest a promising way out. This weakness is directly related to a gross...
Vector timestamps provide a way of recording the causal relationships between events in a distributed computation. We draw attention to a limitation of such timestamps when used t...
