A crucial element of distributed cryptographic file systems are key management solutions that allow for flexible but secure data sharing. We consider efficient key management s...
Monitoring the real-time status of voluntary nodes is a basic task of Quality of Services (QoS) management in grid. The heterogeneity of distributed host resources is an obvious ob...
In mobile ad hoc networks, nodes interact peer-to-peer. They self-organize, share workloads and provide services that they also use. There are middleware platforms, designed for t...
In hierarchical distributed systems, shared data access can be controlled by assigning user groups single cryptographic keys that allow high level users derive low level keys, but...
User-controllable coherence revives the idea of cooperation between software and hardware in an attempt to bridge the gap between efficient small-scale shared memory machines and m...
