In distributed scenarios the robustness of a reputation mechanism depends on the data available for computation. Especially in ad-hoc networks the amount of available data is rest...
We describe our work in implementing a wide-area distributed file system for the NSF TeraGrid. The system, called XUFS, allows private distributed name spaces to be created for tr...
Abstract. This paper aims at providing a rigorous definition of selforganization, one of the most desired properties for dynamic systems (e.g., peer-to-peer systems, sensor networ...
— Antilock Braking System (ABS) exhibits strongly nonlinear and uncertain characteristics. To overcome these difficulties, robust control methods should be employed. In this pap...
Operator mistakes have been identified as a significant source of unavailability in Internet services. In this paper, we propose a new language, A , for service engineers to writ...
