Global public computing platforms, such as PlanetLab, grid computing systems, and XenoServers, require facilities for managing trust to allow their participants to interact effect...
The Monte Carlo (MC) method is a simple but effective way to perform simulations involving complicated or multivariate functions. The QuasiMonte Carlo (QMC) method is similar but...
This paper explores the challenge of scaling up language processing algorithms to increasingly large datasets. While cluster computing has been available in commercial environment...
Real-time monitoring is increasingly becoming important in various scenes of large scale, multi-site distributed/parallel computing, e.g, understanding behavior of systems, schedu...
Patching is a critical security service that keeps computer systems up to date and defends against security threats. Existing patching systems all require running systems. With th...
