In this paper we present a study on the subject of the Immediate Dependency Relation
(IDR), and we show how by extending the IDR relation, one can ensure a global causal …

Since mesoporous materials can be prepared by combining the sol-gel chemistry and the
structuring effect of surfactants, they have attracted attention for application in various high …

In mobile computing systems the network configuration changes due to node mobility. The
paper identifies the issues a group communication service has to take into account in order …

We consider random graphs with edge probability βn− α, where n is the number of vertices
of the graph, β> 0 is fixed, and α= 1 or α=(l+ 1)/l for some fixed positive integer l. We prove …

One key issue in design flows based on reuse of third-party intellectual property(IP)
components is the need to estimate the impact of component instantiation within complex …

Many distributed services need to be scalable: internet search, electronic commerce, e-
government ...… In order to achieve scalability those applications rely on replicated …

Distributed applications using file sharing and file replication, conferencing, and delivery in
multimedia systems often need to use the semantics of causal multicast. Causal multicast in …

This paper formally proves that constrained flooding along the logical links of a deterministic
overlay network preserves causal ordering, yet does not induce any control information …

In unreliable asynchronous distributed systems with failures, achieving a causal view of the
system across all processes is a challenging task. The Causal Reliable Broadcast (CRB) …

In group communication, in order to deliver multicast messages reliably in a group, it is
common practice for each member to maintain copies of all messages it sends and receives …
