The need for sharing is well known in a large number of distributed applications. These applications are difficult to develop either for fully wired or mobile wireless networks. ...
Sensor networks are long-running computer systems with many sensing/compute nodes working to gather information about their environment, process and fuse that information, and in ...
General-purpose operating systems are ill-equipped to meet the quality of service (QoS) requirements of complex real-time applications. Consequently, many classes of realtime appl...
Service-oriented computing proposes services as building blocks which can be composed to complex systems. To reason about the correctness of a service, its communication protocol n...
We show that the minimum distance of a linear code is not approximable to within any constant factor in random polynomial time (RP), unless nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) eq...
