Continuous monitoring biosensors for advanced healthcare and environmental applications: challenges, material innovations and future directions

This review critically discusses the development of continuous monitoring biosensors and the technological developments that have facilitated the transition from one-off or periodic measurement sensors to longer-term, connected and autonomo...

Quantum Computing Opportunities in Renewable Energy

Post-quantum distributed ledger technology: a systematic survey

Abstract Blockchain technology finds widespread application across various fields due to its key features such as immutability, reduced costs, decentralization, and transparency. The security of blockchain relies on elements like hashing, d...

Quantum Computing Review: A Decade of Research

Quantum computing (QC) has the potential to be the next abstruse technology, with a wide range of possible applications and ramifications for organizations and markets. QC provides an exponential speedup by employing quantum mechanics princ...

Quantum Computing: An Introduction for Microwave Engineers

During the past decade, quantum computing has grown from a field known mostly for generating scientific papers to one that is poised to reshape computing as we know it [1]. Major industrial research efforts in quantum computing are currentl...

Quantum Computing in Medicine

Quantum computing (QC) represents a paradigm shift in computational power, offering unique capabilities for addressing complex problems that are infeasible for classical computers. This review paper provides a detailed account of the curren...

Distributed System Design

Jie Wu CRC Press Publishing Company, Boca Raton, FL, 1998, 496 pp. ISBN 0-8493-3178-1, $74.95 The  Distributed System Design  is a superbly organized, comprehensive exposition of basic concepts, issues, and some possible solutions in the di...

Local and temporal predicates in distributed systems

The definitions of the predicates Possibly φ and Definitely φ, where φ is a global predicate of a distributed computation, lead to the definitions of two predicate transformers P and D . We show that P plays the same role with respect to ti...

Functionally Accurate, Cooperative Distributed Systems

A new approach for structuring distributed processing systems, called functionally accurate, cooperative (FA/C), is proposed. The approach differs from conventional ones in its emphasis on handling distribution-caused uncertainty and errors...

Greybox Fuzzing of Distributed Systems

Grey-box fuzzing is the lightweight approach of choice for finding bugs in sequential programs. It provides a balance between efficiency and effectiveness by conducting a biased random search over the domain of program inputs using a feedba...

Distributed Systems

The origins of big data technologies come from database systems and distributed systems as well as data mining and machine learning algorithms that can process these vast amounts of data to extract the necessary knowledge. This chapter addr...

Distributed Systems

Distributed Systems Comprehensive textbook resource on distributed systems—integrates foundational topics with advanced topics of contemporary importance within the field Distributed Systems: Theory and Applications is organized around thre...

Efficient Decentralized Monitoring of Safety in Distributed Systems

This paper presents a variant of past time linear temporal logic, called PT-DTL, suitable for expressing temporal properties of distributed systems. The formulae in this logic are given with respect to a particular process and are interpret...

Execution Anomaly Detection in Distributed Systems through Unstructured Log Analysis

Detection of execution anomalies is very important for the maintenance, development, and performance refinement of large scale distributed systems. Execution anomalies include both work flow errors and low performance problems. People often...

The right type of trust for distributed systems

Research in information security has traditionally focused on where to place or how to propagate trust.In that sense, a cyptographic algorithm or protocol is simply a mechanism to transfer trust from where it exists to where it is needed.Th...

Modelling knowledge and action in distributed systems

Cybersecurity and Ethics

Even though the term “cybersecurity” was not used at the beginning of computer development, the problems associated with it existed at a very early stage and became increasingly important in parallel with the rapid spread of computers as we...

Cybersecurity in Latvia

Drawing on expertise from professionals, government officials, and academics, this book uncovers the proactive measures taken by Latvia to build resilient cybersecurity capabilities. The work offers a comprehensive exploration of Latvia’s c...
