Distributed multi-agent systems require naming services to locate and communicate with remote agents. In this paper we focus on the design and implementation of the “White Pages...
Every distributed system that employs linking requires a Reference Resolution Service (RRS) to convert link references to locations. We argue that the Web’s use of DNS for this ...
A new method, namely the Parallel Two-Level Hybrid (PTH) method, is developed to solve tridiagonal systems on parallel computers. PTH is designed based on Parallel Diagonal Domina...
Mainly for scalability reasons, many cryptographic security protocols make use of public key cryptography and require the existence of a corresponding public key infrastructure (P...
This paper introduces volume leases as a mechanism for providing cache consistency for large-scale, geographically distributed networks. Volume leases are a variation of leases, w...
