We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...
Graphs are widely used to model real world objects and their relationships, and large graph datasets are common in many application domains. To understand the underlying character...

—With virtual machine technology, distributed services deployed in multiple cooperative virtual machines, such as multi-tier web services, may reside on one physical machine. Thi...
Network coordinates provide a scalable way to estimate latencies among large numbers of hosts. While there are several algorithms for producing coordinates, none account for the f...
