We present an adaptive algorithm for N-process mutual exclusion under read/write atomicity in which all busy waiting is by local spinning. In our algorithm, each process p perform...
Abstract We introduce our human-centered approach for designing a ubiquitous computing system which aims at providing a better experience for shoppers at a supermarket. We investig...
This paper proposes a calculus for describing communication-centred programs and discusses its use through a formal description of several use cases from real business protocols. ...
We are advocating a component-oriented software development approach that provides support for a clear separation between the computational and the compositional entities of an ap...
Recent results have used game theory to explore the nature of optimal investments in the security of simple series and parallel systems. However, it is clearly important in practi...
