This paper investigates a complexity-effective technique for verifying a highly distributed directory-based cache coherence protocol. We develop a novel approach called “witnes...
In wireless networks, as in many areas of engineering, simulation has been the de-facto standard for testing, dimensioning and analyzing mobile protocols. Emulation, which present...
This article proposes a simple key management protocol for the distribution of shared session keys in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. For this purpose an individual key for each user i...
The Amoeba group communication system has two unique aspects: (1) it uses a sequencer-based protocol with negative acknowledgements for achieving a total order on all group messag...
