This paper presents DisAC-9, the first optimal distributed algorithm performing the arc-consistency of a constraint network. Our method is optimal according to the number of messa...
Abstract—Collision avoidance and resolution multiple access (CARMA) protocols establish a three-way handshake between sender and receiver to attempt to avoid collisions, and reso...
Given the rate of growth of the Web, scalability of search engines is a key issue, as the amount of hardware and network resources needed is large, and expensive. In addition, sea...
Performance of distributed applications largely depends on the mapping of their components on the underlying architecture. On one mponent-based approaches provide an abstraction su...
