Data replication is a key issue in a Data Grid and can be managed in different ways and at different levels of granularity: for example, at the file level or object level. In the ...
A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of small, resource-constrained devices and usually operates in hostile environments that are prone to link and node failures. ...
This paper describes an approach to real-time decisionmaking for quality of service based scheduling of distributed asynchronous data replication. The proposed approach addresses ...
In this paper, we study end-to-end performance characteristics of S-MAC, an energy-aware medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSN). WSNs are composed...
Existing replica services on the Grid we know to date assumes point-to-point communication and file transfer protocol. As such, when hundreds to thousands of hosts on the Grid ac...
