Distributed Systems

Distributed Systems Comprehensive textbook resource on distributed systems—integrates foundational topics with advanced topics of contemporary importance within the field Distributed Systems: Theory and Applications is organized around thre...

Distributed Systems

Abstract Chapter 5 considers distributed systems by their properties. The first section studies the classification of software systems, which is usually distinguished in centralized, decentralized and distributed systems. It studies the dif...

Identification of distributed systems

Load balancing in distributed systems

Most distributed systems are characterized by distribution of both physical and logical features. The architecture of a distributed system is usually modular. Most distributed systems support a varying number of processing elements. The sys...

The evolution of distributed systems towards microservices architecture

Applications developed to fulfil distributed systems needs have been growing rapidly. Major evolutions have happened beginning with basic architecture relying on initiated request by a client to a processing side referred to as the server. ...

Consistent global states of distributed systems: fundamental concepts and mechanisms

s are available from the same host in the directory /pub/TR/ABSTRACTS in plain text format. All local authors can be reached via e-mail at the address [email protected]. UBLCS Technical Report Series 92-1 Mapping Parallel Computations o...

Transparency and reflection in distributed systems

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...

Execution Anomaly Detection in Distributed Systems through Unstructured Log Analysis

Detection of execution anomalies is very important for the maintenance, development, and performance refinement of large scale distributed systems. Execution anomalies include both work flow errors and low performance problems. People often...

Grid services for distributed system integration

Increasingly, computing addresses collaboration, data sharing, and interaction modes that involve distributed resources, resulting in an increased focus on the interconnection of systems both within and across enterprises. These evolutionar...

Distributed systems meet economics: pricing in the cloud

Cloud computing allows users to perform computation in a public cloud with a pricing scheme typically based on incurred resource consumption. While cloud comput-ing is often considered as merely a new application for classic distributed sys...

Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems

The world has changed radically since the first edition of this book was published in 2001. Spammers, virus writers, phishermen, money launderers, and spies now trade busily with each other in a lively online criminal economy and as they sp...

in Distributed Systems

This paper presents an eflcient protocol to totally order the delivery of broadcast messages in a distributed system with N sites. The protocol exploits a symmetric communication scheme based on finite projective planes and requires N+2a me...

Constructing adaptive software in distributed systems

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...

Toward a Global Cybersecurity Standard of Care? Exploring the Implications of the 2014 NIST Cybersecurity Framework on Shaping Reasonable National and International Cybersecurity Practices

"Even though U.S. congressional and multilateral efforts aimed at enhancing cybersecurity have thus far largely failed in their aims, courts are using existing doctrines including negligence to hold companies accountable for cyber attacks. ...

Data Science Methodology for Cybersecurity Projects

Cybersecurity solutions are traditionally static and signature-based.The traditional solutions along with the use of analytic models, machine learning and big data could be improved by automatically trigger mitigation or provide relevant aw...

Cybersecurity for eHealth

The modern realities of cybersecurity have uncovered the unpreparedness of many sectors and industries to deal with emerging threats. One of these sectors is the healthcare industry. The pervasiveness and proliferation of digital innovation...

AI and Cybersecurity

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...

Human behaviour as an aspect of cybersecurity assurance

Abstract There continue to be numerous breaches publicised pertaining to cybersecurity despite security practices being applied within industry for many years. This paper is intended to be the first in a number of papers as research into cy...

Cybersecurity for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

As the U.S. electrifies the transportation sector, cyberattacks targeting vehicle charging could impact several critical infrastructure sectors including power systems, manufacturing, medical services, and agriculture. This is a growing are...

Cybersecurity

This is a definition of Cybersecurity in the Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Space Law. Providing a comprehensive and timely overview of the evolving landscape of space law, this Encyclopedia emphasizes the importance of international collabo...
