We investigate how managers trade off the benefits of delegating authority to their employees with risk loss control. Organizational economics theory identifies specific knowledge subordinates and monitoring possibilities for manager as determinants delegation. Social learning predicts that when unit are themselves granted more authority, they will pass this on employees. This cascading reduces...

The paper reports an effort made for understanding the effect of task delegation policy in a peer-to-peer volunteer computing platform. This effort includes the implementation of a simulation environment and the development of associated analytical models for the analysis of task delegation policies in peer-to-peer computing platforms. Based on the analytical model best and worst task delegatio...

Scoping behavioral variations to dynamic extents is useful to support non-functional concerns that otherwise result in cross-cutting code. Unfortunately, such forms of scoping are difficult to obtain with traditional reflection or aspects. We propose delegation proxies, a dynamic proxy model that supports behavioral intercession through the interception of various interpretation operations. Del...

SDM is a Secure Delegation Model for Javabased distributed object environments. SDM extends current Java security features to support secure remote method invocations that may involve chains of delegated calls across distributed objects. The framework supports a control API for application developers to specify mechanisms and security policies surrounding simple or cascaded delegation. Delegati...
