Abstract. We consider the problem of efficient key management and user revocation in cryptographic file systems that allow shared access to files. A performanceefficient solution t...
: Middleware technologies such as CORBA and DCOM have been developed as a means of tackling heterogeneity and complexity problems inherent in distributed systems. However, more wor...
BDI agent languages provide a useful abstraction for complex systems comprised of interactive autonomous entities, but they have been used mostly in the context of single agents w...
Manually tuning tens to hundreds of configuration parameters in a complex software system like a database or an application server is an arduous task. Recent work has looked into ...
Modern artifacts are typically composed of many system components and exhibit a complex pattern of continuous/discrete behaviors. A concurrent hybrid automaton is a powerful model...
