Designing applications with timeliness requirements in environments of uncertain synchrony is known to be a difficult problem. In this paper, we follow the perspective of timing ...
Abstract. The last decades have seen the emergence of the sea of objects paradigm for structuring complex distributed systems on workstations and local area networks. In this appro...
Abstract. The event-condition-action (ECA) paradigm holds enormous potential in pervasive computing environments. However, the problem of reliable delivery of event data, generated...
We develop a general game-theoretic framework for reasoning about strategic agents performing possibly costly computation. In this framework, many traditional game-theoretic resul...
This paper presents a data management solution which allows fast Virtual Machine (VM) instantiation and efficient run-time execution to support VMs as execution environments in Gri...
