Despite many sensor, hardware, networking, and software advances, it is still quite difficult to build effective and reliable context-aware applications. We propose to build a con...
This paper describes simulations designed to test the relative efficiency of two different sequential auction mechanisms for allocating compute resources between users in a shared...
Abstract. In 1982, Bennett and Brassard suggested a new way to provide privacy in long distance communications with security based on the correctness of the basic principles of qua...
Group communication primitives have broad utility as building blocks for distributed applications. The challenge is to create and maintain the distributed structures that support ...

We examine how computer system problems can be derived from real application problems, with a particular focus on the relevance of some assumptions, especially those related to co...
