A Theory of Closure Operators
We explore how fixed-point operators can be designed to interact and be composed to form autonomic control mechanisms. We depart from the idea that an operator is idempotent only ...

ContagAlert: Using Contagion Theory for Adaptive, Distributed Alert Propagation
Large-scale distributed systems, e.g., Grid or P2P networks, are targets for large-scale attacks. Unfortunately, few existing systems support propagation of alerts during the atta...
