Scheduling tasks on large-scale computational grids is difficult due to the heterogeneous computational capabilities of the resources, node unavailability and unreliable network ...
This paper investigates fault tolerance issues in Bistro, a wide area upload architecture. In Bistro, clients first upload their data to intermediaries, known as bistros. A destin...
Due to the ever-widening performance gap between processors and disks, I/O operations tend to become the major performance bottleneck of data-intensive applications on modern clus...

Periodic and aperiodic tasks co-exist in many realtime systems. The periodic tasks typically arise from sensor data or control loops, while the aperiodic tasks generally arise fro...
A new fault tolerant architecture that provides tolerance to a broad scope of hardware, software, and communications faults is being developed. This architecture relies on widely ...
