Abstract. Replication systems require a state-transfer mechanism in order to recover crashed replicas and to integrate new ones into replication groups. This paper presents and eva...
— This paper considers scheduling divisible workloads from multiple sources in linear networks of processors. We propose a two phase scheduling strategy (TPSS) to minimize the ov...
Trust and reputation measures are crucial in distributed open systems where agents need to decide whom or what to choose. Existing work has mainly focused on the reputation of sing...
Abstract. The recently introduced family of natural evolution strategies (NES), a novel stochastic descent method employing the natural gradient, is providing a more principled alt...
Given two replication schemes old X and new X , the Replica Transfer Scheduling Problem (RTSP) aims at reaching new X , starting from old X , with minimal implementation cost. In ...
