Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
Computational grids can integrate geographically distributed resources into a seamless environment. To facilitate managing these heterogenous resources, the virtual machine gy pro...
— This paper considers a network composed of robotic agents and static nodes performing spatial estimation of a dynamic physical processes. The physical process is modeled as a s...
BitTorrent (BT) in practice is a very efficient method to share data over a network of clients. In this paper we extend the recent work of Arthur and Panigrahy [1] on modelling the...
This paper addresses the problem of fine-grained data replication in large distributed systems, such as the Internet, so as to minimize the user access delays. With fine-grained d...
