Rendering networks and distributed systems self-managing and self-optimizing has become a major research focus. This task is especially important for systems, such as publish/subsc...
Abstract—In this paper we ask which properties of a distributed network can be computed from a few amount of local information provided by its nodes. The distributed model we con...
Auto-configuration is a desirable goal in implementing mobile ad hoc networks. Specifically, automated dynamic assignment (without manual intervention) of IP addresses is desirabl...
Clusters of networked, off-the-shelf workstations are currently used for computationintensive, parallel applications. However, it is hardly possible to predict the timing behaviou...
We present an efficient authenticated and fault-tolerant protocol (AFTD) for tree-based key agreement. Our approach is driven by the insight that when a Diffie-Hellman blinded key ...
