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...

Building reliable distributed systems with CORBA

New classes of large-scale distributed applications will have to deal with unpredictable communication delays, with partial failures, and with networks that partition. In addition, sophisticated applications such as teleconferencing, video-...

1. Motivations, objectives and characterization of distributed systems.- 2. Distributed system architecture model.- 3. Interprocess communication layer: Introduction.- 4. Hardware interconnection technology.- 5. Link level.- 6. Hierarchy.- ...

Authentication in distributed systems

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

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...

Structure and Encapsulation in Distributed Systems: the Proxy Principle

We present a novel view of the structuring of distributed systems, and a few examples of its utilization in an object-oriented context. In a distributed system, the structure of a service or subsystem may be complex, being implemented as a ...

Distributed systems: Concepts and design

Monitoring distributed systems

The monitoring of distributed systems involves the collection, interpretation, and display of information concerning the interactions among concurrently executing processes. This information and its display can support the debugging, testin...

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. ...
