Transparency and reflection in distributed systems

Robert J. Stroud • ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (1993)

The recursive composition of systems to form functionally equivalent transparently distributed systems is an important paradigm for constructing distributed systems. The extent to which such recursive transparency can be achieved depends cr...

The timed asynchronous distributed system model

Flaviu Cristian, Christof W. Fetzer • IEEE International Symposium on Fault-Tolerant Computing (2002)

We propose a formal definition for the timed asynchronous distributed system model and we describe extensive measurements of actual message and process scheduling delays and hardware clock drifts that confirm that this model adequately desc...

The LOCUS Distributed System Architecture

Gerald J. Popek • The MIT Press eBooks (1986)

LOCUS, a distributed version of the popular operating system Unix, provides an excellent solution. It makes a collection of computers, whether they are workstations or mainframes, as easy to use as a single computer by providing a set of su...

Monitoring distributed systems

Masoud Mansouri-Samani, Morris S. Sloman • IEEE Network (1993)

It is suggested that a functional model of monitoring in terms of the generation, processing, dissemination, and presentation of information can help determine the facilities needed to design and construct distributed systems. Implementatio...

Robust Probabilistic Inference in Distributed Systems

Mark A. Paskin, Carlos Guestrin • arXiv (Cornell University) (2012)

Probabilistic inference problems arise naturally in distributed systems such as sensor networks and teams of mobile robots. Inference algorithms that use message passing are a natural fit for distributed systems, but they must be robust to ...

Selfish caching in distributed systems

Byung-Gon Chun, Kamalika Chaudhuri, Hoeteck Wee, Marco Barreno et al. • ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC) (2004)

We analyze replication of resources by server nodes that act selfishly, using a game-theoretic approach. We refer to this as the selfish caching problem. In our model, nodes incur either cost for replicating resources or cost for access to ...

Verdi: a framework for implementing and formally verifying distributed systems

James R. Wilcox, Doug Woos, Pavel Panchekha, Zachary Tatlock et al. • ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI) (2015)

Distributed systems are difficult to implement correctly because they must handle both concurrency and failures: machines may crash at arbitrary points and networks may reorder, drop, or duplicate packets. Further, their behavior is often t...

The right type of trust for distributed systems

Audun Jøsang • New Security Paradigms Workshop (1996)

Research in information security has traditionally focused on where to place or how to propagate trust.In that sense, a cyptographic algorithm or protocol is simply a mechanism to transfer trust from where it exists to where it is needed.Th...

AI and Cybersecurity

Kalyan Chakradhar Regula • Advances in computational intelligence and robotics book series (2025)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity have become deeply intertwined, shaping the future of digital safety and resilience. As AI-driven solutions enhance threat detection, automation, and response mechanisms, cybersecurity safeguar...
