We evaluate response times, in N-user collaborations, of the popular centralized (client-server) and replicated (peer-to-peer) architectures, and a hybrid architecture in which ea...
Computational Grids have the potential to become the main execution platform for high performance and distributed applications. However, such systems are extremely complex and pro...

As the number of I/O-intensive MPI programs becomes increasingly large, many efforts have been made to improve I/O performance, on both software and architecture sides. On the sof...
Sensor networks are distributed event-based systems that differ from traditional communication networks in several ways: sensor networks have severe energy constraints, redundant ...
