Java provides many attractive features such as platform independence, execution safety, garbage collection and object orientation. These features facilitate application development but are expensive to support; applications written in Java are often much slower than their counterparts written in C…

The objective of this work is to supply one more contribution to the scientific community presenting techniques that will be used in distributed systems that need file replications in real time guaranteeing the permanent availability of the system. As the…

El framework de desarrollo JSF (JAVA Server Faces) es uno de los más popularmente usados en el desarrollo de aplicaciones Web. Este incorpora la novedad de permitir construir “componentes a medida” o “componentes customizadas”, aunque la implementación inadecuada desemboca en…

Authentication techniques for a large-scale network are essential for the booming applications of e-commerce and e-business. In this thesis, authentication techniques for a larger-scale network are discussed. In-deep discussions on the independent path technique are presented. An authentication protocol based…

In the context of an object-oriented programming language such as Java, the ubiquitous use of instance fields and the presence of pointers (references to objects) make it difficult to understand a program's memory usage. Understanding memory usage is a key…

El desarrollo de Sistemas Multi-agente es un problema complejo, su resolución generalmente involucra el análisis de problemas típicos de sistemas distribuidos, con entidades (agentes) que negocian, tienen la capacidad de aprendizaje, etc. Las soluciones existentes van desde desarrollos de cero…

Currently, the telecommunications management systems are powerful, however, maintain centralized and proprietary platforms, limiting this way, the growth of these telecommunications networks. This factor generates the need for scalable and open systems, stimulating the sectors of the telecommunications area to…
