In this paper, we consider the problem of modeling machine availability in enterprise-area and wide-area distributed computing settings. Using availability data gathered from three...
: Wide area network (WAN) -based distributed computing (DC) has become an active field of research, especially under the label of grid computing. On the other hand, research on WAN...
Executing parallel applications across distributed networks introduces the problem of fault tolerance. A viable solution for fault tolerance must keep overhead manageable and not c...
In this paper a model for scheduling in wide-area systems is described. The model is federated and utilizes a collection of local site schedulers that control the use of their res...
The inability to perform optimizations based on application-specific information presents a hurdle to the deployment of pervasive LAN file systems across WAN environments. This pa...
