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...
First-class continuations are a powerful computational effect, allowing the programmer to express any form of jumping. Types and effect systems can be used to reason about contin...
Designing distributed real-time systems as being composed of communicating objects offers many advantages with respect to modularity and extensibility of these systems. However, d...
Data replication can help database systems meet the stringent temporal constraints of current time-critical applications, especially Internet-based services. A prerequisite, howev...
