k-mutual exclusion is an important problem for resourceintensive peer-to-peer applications ranging from aggregation to file downloads. In order to be practically useful, k-mutual...
The dynamics of peer participation, or churn, are an inherent property of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems and critical for design and evaluation. Accurately characterizing churn requir...
Resource performance in the Computational Grid is not only heterogeneous, but also changing dynamically. However scheduling algorithms designed for traditional parallel and distri...
