In this paper, we show that for elections in distributedsystems the conversion from non-binary choices to binary choices does not always provide optimal results when the preferences of nodes are not identical. With t...

The lattice of maximal antichains of a distributed computation is generally much smaller than its lattice of consistent global states. We show that a useful class of predicates can be detected on the lattice of maxima...

A number of popular engineering processes and methodologies emerged over the past years which attracted interest in research and industry. For process enactment, enterprises have to match requirements of engineering processes with existing resources. Therefore, it has to be analyzed if employees have sufficient skills or if infrastructure has sufficient capabilities to match the requirements of a situational process. Both, maintaining a skill and resource database and matching requirements against this database are an enormously challenging and time-consuming task. Additionally, this matching has to be carried out regularly as employees join and leave the company and skills change over time. Based upon a formal, logical base, we present an approach that combines ontological and metamodeling technical spaces and enables an automatic analysis of engineering processes regarding the existence of necessary resources.
This paper presents a method that uses forward error correction codes to minimize the message bit complexity when acquiring consistent global information in the presence of faulty processes. We show a modification to ...

A distributed computation is usually modeled as a finite partially ordered set (poset) of events. Many operations on this poset require computing meets and joins of subsets of events. The lattice of normal cuts of a p...

Recently, there has been an increase of interest in the social impact of virtual reality technologies, as virtual worlds experienced an increase of their popularity in various social groups (teenagers, businesses). The growing trend for people to spend more time in suchlike virtual spaces implies a demand for intelligent virtual environments, that could mimic the real world as a simulation and provide functionalities and tools for behaviour analysis and adaptation to user preferences. Within the context of e-government, this paper presents the ongoing project +Spaces, which is developing a range of virtual environment tools. The platform architecture is presented and technical challenges involved in creating intelligent virtual spaces for e-government as well as draft policies to be used in role-playing simulations are discussed.
Among several techniques proposed for indoor positioning using IEEE 802.11 Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) based networks, those that rely on fingerprinting have been demonstrated to outperform those based on lateration, an...
