This book presents the authors' updated view on the most relevant topics of distributed systems. This second edition shares most of the contents with the previous one in terms of contents/chapters, but many of the chapte...

This paper presents the ISDL-Adp model, an architectural abstract self-modifying model for the specification of distributed systems. This model is the result of extending the concepts of nonadaptive ISDL devices by using...

Ordering and timeliness are two different aspects of consis- tency of shared objects in distributed systems. Timed consistency [12] is an approach that considers simultaneously these two elements according to the needs o...

When allocating processors to processes in a distributed system, load balancing is a main concern of designers. By its implementation, system performance can be enhanced by equally distributing the dynamically changing w...

Facing the different approaches to process activation and global termination detection on distributed systems, this paper performs a practical comparison between the mainly opposed centralized and distributed models. Fir...

Modern software applications rarely live in isolation and nowadays it is common practice to rely on services or consume information provided by remote entities. In such a distributed architecture, integration is key. Mes...

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a critical role in signal recognition of distributed sensor systems (DSS), boosting its applications in multiple monitoring fields. Due to the domain differences between massive sensors...

This paper investigates the distributed state estimation problem for a class of continuous-time nonlinear systems over sensor networks. The nonlinearities considered are assumed to satisfy the Incremental Quadratic Const...

The industrial plants s uch as the power plant, in particular the nuclear ones, have presented important changes in the conditions during the last 20 years. This situation led to the evaluation of the emergent t echnolog...

An on-site electronic voting system is analyzed for distributed environments, with multiple simultaneous election models and different types of voters, used for periods longer than one day and with real-time counting of ...

Multiagent Systems is the title of a collection of papers dedicated to surveying specific themes of Multiagent Systems (MAS) and Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). All of them authored by leading researchers of t...

The article examines current approaches to optimizing the operating modes of distributed technical systems based on automation and intelligent control technologies, using the example of 10 kV electric networks. The analy...

In this article we show how the interface design for the visualization of distributed system load can benefit from the combination of concepts and techniques from Information Visualization and Human Computer Interaction ...

Augmented marked graphs possess a special structure for modelling common resources as well as some desirable properties pertaining to liveness, boundedness, reversibility and conservativeness. This paper investigates the...

Wireless networks play a major role in allowing the deployment of ubiquitous distributed systems. In these networks, service discovery should not only allow finding available networked services, but should also take into...

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) became a powerful tool for environments where an optimization is needed or where an adaptive behaviour of a system is necessary. Computer Systems have been evolving rapidly during the last ...

CSCW is a well-suited discipline for appropriate communicating ideas inside a group and even in an inter-group cooperation. Though basic technology for communication annoy people with too many computer-related tasks to d...

In distributed systems load distnbutíon and balancing are primary functions directed to system performance improvement and user content. In order to decide where the incoming workload have to be allocated, maintaining a...

Virtualization has been on the increase of attention through the past few years. It enables the execution of many independent operational systems on an only operational system. It makes feasible a simulation of an interc...

En sistemas distribuidos las aplicaciones realizan trabajos que requieren acceso en forma exclusiva a un recurso o realizan trabajo en forma conjunta para el cual requieren de la utilización de un recurso, para poder ma...
