—P2P storage systems use replication to provide a certain level of availability. While the system must generate new replicas to replace replicas lost to permanent failures, it ca...
Cooperative checkpointing, in which the system dynamically skips checkpoints requested by applications at runtime, can exploit system-level information to improve performance and ...
Conventional autotuning configuration of parameters in distributed computing systems using evolutionary strategies increases integrated performance notably, though at the expense ...
We propose a novel heterogeneous scalable desktop grid system, WaveGrid, which uses a peer-to-peer architecture and can satisfy the needs of applications with fastturnaround requi...
Time triggered methods provide deterministic behaviour suitable for critical real-time systems. They perform less favourably, however, if the arrival times of some activities are ...
