A general theory of glacier surges

D. I. Benn, A. C. Fowler, I. Hewitt, H. Sevestre • Journal of Glaciology (2019)

We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed ...

Guiding the Self-Organization of Cyber-Physical Systems

Carlos Gershenson, Carlos Gershenson, Carlos Gershenson • Frontiers in Robotics and AI (2020)

Self-organization offers a promising approach for designing adaptive systems. Given the inherent complexity of most cyber-physical systems, adaptivity is desired, as predictability is limited. Here I summarize different concepts and approac...

Gossiping in distributed systems

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Maarten R. van Steen • ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (2007)

Gossip-based algorithms were first introduced for reliably disseminating data in large-scale distributed systems. However, their simplicity, robustness, and flexibility make them attractive for more than just pure data dissemination alone. ...

Authentication in distributed systems

Butler Lampson, Martı́n Abadi, Michael T. Burrows, Edward P. Wobber • ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (1992)

We describe a theory of authentication and a system that implements it. Our theory is based on the notion of principal and a “speaks for” relation between principals. A simple principal either has a name or is a communication channel; a com...
