A common design of the Internet of Things (IoT) system relies on distant Cloud for management and processing, which faces the challenge of latency, especially when the application requires rapid response in the edge network. Therefore, researchers have proposed the Fog computing architecture,...

Due to their widespread use, Internet, Web 2.0 and digital sensors create data in non-traditional volumes (at terabytes and petabytes scale). The big data characterized by the four V's has brought with it new challenges given the limited capabilities of traditional computing systems. This paper...

Nowadays we are witnessing a trend with significantly increasing number of networked and computing-capable devices being integrated into everyday environment. This trend is expected to continue. With computing devices available as logic structures, they might use each other's processing...

This paper discusses diagnosis problems in distributed systems within the context of a language- theoretic discrete event formalism. A distributed system is seen as a system with multiple spatially separated sites with each site having a diagnoser that observes some of the events generated by...
