Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) is a novel peer-to-peer event-sharing protocol and architecture for
social apps. In this paper we describe SSB's features, its operations as well as the rationale …

The problem of pollution of surface water affects all countries of the world. The main sources
of pollution of water objects in agricultural areas are the surface runoff from cultivated lands …

Programming models for building large-scale distributed applications assist the developer in
reasoning about consistency and distribution. However, many of the programming models …

We provide a lightweight decentralized publish-subscribe framework for supporting large-
scale actor communication on edge networks. Our framework, called Loquat, does not …

Formative assessment of student progress and attitudes is important to our continuous
improvement process, but collecting and compiling the data is burdensome without using …

Broadcast is one of the fundamental primitives to enable sensor networks. In this paper, we
address some practical concerns regarding reliable broadcast. Particularly, we consider the …

This work presents VCube-Sync, a distributed datastore that uses the VCube virtual topology
to maintain Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDT). CRDT can ensure consistency in a …

This paper presents a work in progress that intends to evaluate the use of a virtual
hypercube topology as a partial replication protocol for a data store based on Conflict-free …

Programming large-scale distributed applications requires new abstractions and models to
be done well. We demonstrate that these models are possible. Following from both the FLP …

We present a work in progress report on a new programming model that supports
declarative, functional style aggregation operations over devices at the edge. This …
