Distributed Systems

Sukumar Ghosh • Chapman & Hall/CRC eBooks (2006)

Most applications in distributed computing center around a set of common subproblems. Distributed Systems: An Algorithmic Approach presents the algorithmic issues and necessary background theory that are needed to properly understand these ...

Regional observability of distributed systems

M. Amouroux, A. El Jai, El Hassan Zerrik • International Journal of Systems Science (1994)

The aim of this paper is to develop the concept of regional observability for distributed systems. This original concept is closer to practical considerations since it only requires the observation of the state on a given subregion. We show...

Authentication in distributed systems

Butler Lampson, Martı́n Abadi, Michael T. Burrows, Edward P. Wobber • ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (1991)

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...

Constructing adaptive software in distributed systems

Wen-Ke Chen, Matti A. Hiltunen, Richard D. Schlichting • Proceedings of the ... International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems/Proceedings of the International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (2002)

Adaptive software that can react to changes in the execution environment or user requirements by switching algorithms at run time is powerful yet difficult to implement, especially in distributed systems. This paper describes a software arc...

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...

Controlling chaos in distributed systems

Tad Hogg, Bernardo A. Huberman • IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and Cybernetics (1991)

A simple and robust procedure for freezing out chaotic behavior in systems composed of interacting agents making decisions based on imperfect and delayed information is described. It is based on a reward mechanism whereby the relative numbe...
