The rise of remote work offers an important opportunity to (re)examine the underlying relationship between and control. Distributed teams, where members remotely, call into question assumption that rests fundamentally solely outputs. Using interview diary data fro...

In recent years, advances in high performance distributed computing have brought forward novel types of applications which access and share resources across heterogeneous, distributed environments. However, at the same time, it has to be noted that current approaches to ensure the correctness of the execution of applications in such distributed environments in the presence of concurrent updates...

In this lecture, we take a look at the problem of distributed control. We will begin by seeing why the problem is hard. Then we will look at one obvious approach towards solving the problem. Other approaches to the problem will also be mentioned.
