We present a method for using real world mobility traces to identify tractable theoretical models for the study of distributed algorithms in mobile networks. We validate the metho...
In a desktop grid model, the job (computational task) is submitted for execution in the resource only when the resource is idle. There is no guarantee that the job which has starte...
In many practical scenarios, nodes gathering at points of interest yield sizable connected components (clusters), which sometimes comprise the majority of nodes. While recent anal...
For a grid middleware to perform resource allocation, prediction models are needed, which can determine how long an application will take for completion on a particular platform o...
We present the design and evaluation of Passport, a system that allows source addresses to be validated within the network. Passport uses efficient, symmetric-key cryptography to ...
