Abstract. The creation of distributed applications requires sophisticated compositions, as various components — supporting application logic or non-functional requirements — mu...
Abstract. We study large-scale distributed cooperative systems that use optimistic replication. We represent a system as a graph of actions (operations) connected by edges that rei...
Abstract. Over the last years, research efforts have led the way to embed computation into the environment. Much attention is drawn to technologies supporting dynamicity and mobil...
