In Internet-scale distributed systems, replicationbased scheme has been widely deployed to increase the availability and efficiency of services. Hence, consistency maintenance amo...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
With the rapid advances in Internet and Grid technique, an increasing number of applications will involve computing systems. These applications in turn create an increasing demand ...
Advances in the development of large scale distributed computing systems such as Grids and Computing Clouds have intensified the need for developing scheduling algorithms capable...
