Endorsements, licensing, and insurance for distributed system services

Gennady Medvinsky, Charlie Lai, Clifford Neuman • ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) (1994)

Clients in a distributed system place their confidence in many servers, and servers themselves rely on other servers for file storage, authentication, authorization, and payment. When a system spans administrative boundaries it becomes hard...

Ponder: A Language for Specifying Security and Management Policies for Distributed Systems

Nicodemos Damianou, Naranker Dulay, E. Lupu, Morris S. Sloman • Spiral (Imperial College London) (2000)

This document defines a declarative, object-oriented language for specifying policies for the security and management of distributed systems. The language includes constructs for specifying the following basic policy types: authorisation po...

Epidemic information dissemination in distributed systems

Patrick Th. Eugster, Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Laurent Massoulié • Computer (2004)

Easy to deploy, robust, and highly resilient to failures, epidemic algorithms are a potentially effective mechanism for propagating information in large peer-to-peer systems deployed on Internet or ad hoc networks. It is possible to adjust ...

Distributed Systems

Pranabananda Chakraborty • Chapman & Hall/CRC eBooks (2023)

This chapter demystifies computing systems consisting of multiple CPUs, shared and distributed memory, and different types of I/O in the form of multiprocessors and multicomputers that eventually gave rise to distributed computing systems a...

Distributed System Design with Message Sequence Charts

Ingolf H. Krüger • mediaTUM – the media and publications repository of the Technical University Munich (Technical University Munich) (2000)

The methodical mastery of interaction scenarios is a key factor for capturing and modeling system requirements of distributed, reactive systems. Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) and variants thereof are well-accepted as a graphical descriptio...

The Verification of a Distributed System

Caitie McCaffrey • Queue (2015)

Leslie Lamport, known for his seminal work in distributed systems, famously said, "A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn’t even know existed can render your own computer unusable." Given this bleak outlook ...

About logical clocks for distributed systems

Michel Raynal • ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (1992)

Memory space and processor time are basic resources when executing a program. But beside this implementation aspect (this time resource is necessary but does not belong to the program semantics), the concept of time presents a more fundamen...

A Behavioral SIQR-B Model for Cholera Transmission: Impact of Adaptive Risk Perception on Disease Dynamics

Pedro Pablo Cárdenas Alzate, Jaime Alberto Echeverri Franco, Jacobo Echeverri Hoyos • Epidemiologia (2026)

Background/Objectives: Cholera remains a major public health problem, particularly in regions with limited access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Traditional compartmental models may underrepresent adaptive human behavioral responses...

A framework for event composition in distributed systems

Peter R. Pietzuch, Brian Ninham Shand, Jean Bacon • Lecture notes in computer science (2003)

1 Introduction Event-based communication has become a new paradigm for building large-scaledistributed systems. It has the advantages of loosely coupling communication partners, being extremely scalable, and providing a simple application p...

An axiomatic basis of trust in distributed systems

P. Venkat Rangan • IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (S&P) (2003)

He introduces basic notions about developing a logic or a theory, and shows that modal logics of belief, with their Kripe-style possible-worlds semantics, are appropriate for basing a theory of trust on. He reviews a modal logic of belief, ...

Authorization in distributed systems: a formal approach

Thomas Y. C. Woo, Simon S. Lam • IEEE Computer Society Symposium on Research in Security and Privacy (2003)

It is argued that authorization is an independent semantic concept that must be separated from implementation mechanisms and given a precise semantics. A logical approach to representing and evaluating authorization is proposed. Specificall...

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...

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...

Orca: a language for parallel programming of distributed systems

Henri E. Bal, M. Frans Kaashoek, Andrew S. Tanenbaum • IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (1992)

A detailed description is given of the Orca language design and the design choices are discussed. Orca is intended for applications programmers rather than systems programmers. This is reflected in its design goals to provide a simple, easy...

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...
