As various kinds of peer-to-peer (P2P) applications become popular and widely known to people all around the world, research on P2P networks has received considerable interest. Re...
This paper develops a scalable online optimization framework for the autonomic performance management of distributed computing systems operating in a dynamic environment to satisf...
In heterogeneous distributed systems, such as Grids, a resource broker is responsible of automatically selecting resources, and mapping application tasks to them. A crucial aspect...
Reputation in P2P networks is an important tool to encourage cooperation among peers. It is based on ranking of peers according to their past behaviour. In large-scale real world ...
