We extend a torus-based coterie structure for distributed mutual exclusion to allow k multiple entries in a critical section. In the original coterie, the system nodes are logical...
The asymptotic bias and variance are important determinants of the quality of a simulation run. In particular, the asymptotic bias can be used to approximate the bias introduced b...

In recent years, theChaos Project at theUniversityofWashingtonhas analyzed and simulated a dozen routing algorithms. Three new routing algorithms have been invented; of these, the...

Security and reliability issues in distributed systems have been investigated for several years at LAAS using a technique called Fragmentation-Redundancy-Scattering (FRS). The aim ...
Traditional concurrency control techniques for database systems (transaction management based on locking protocols) have been successful in many multiuser settings, but these tech...
