For last several decades, large-scale computing, whether for massive supercomputers or distributed enterprise systems, has been engaged in a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. Less colloquially, of ...

Distributed systems comprise a network of independent computing nodes that collaborate to achieve shared objectives despite challenges such as network latency, asynchrony and process failures. At the ...

Basic principles behind distributed systems (collections of independent components that appear to users as a single coherent system) and main paradigms used to organize them. This course satisfies the ...

Management Science, Vol. 44, No. 11, Part 2 of 2 (Nov., 1998), pp. S65-S78 (14 pages) This paper describes a framework for the coordination and integration of information systems. By modeling typical ...

A monitor node validates state proofs and anchors snapshots on chain, which provides auditability for attribution and ...

A generation ago, while others used high level languages such as COBOL,FORTRAN, BASIC and Lisp, most embedded systems were programmed inassembler. Memories and applications were small and compilers ...

The grid is no longer a one-way street of big plants pushing power downstream. It’s becoming a crowded ecosystem—rooftop solar, home batteries, virtual power plants, new nuclear, even Bitcoin ...
