Smart Messages (SMs) are migratory execution units used to describe distributed computations over mobile ad hoc networks of embedded systems. The main benefits provided by SMs ar...
Emerging large scale distributed networking systems, such as P2P file sharing systems, sensor networks, and ad hoc wireless networks, require replication of content, functionalit...
Peer-to-peer systems enable efficient resource aggregation and are inherently scalable since they do not depend on any centralized authority. However, lack of a centralized autho...
It is now common to encounter communities engaged in the collaborative analysis and transformation of large quantities of data over extended time periods. We argue that these comm...
In this paper, we first propose a novel Public License Infrastructure (PLI) that uses cryptographic threshold secret sharing schemes to provide decentralized public license service...
