Abstract. We are witnessing a dramatic increase in the use of datacentric distributed systems such as global grid infrastructures, sensor networks, network monitoring, and various ...
Distributed clusters like the Grid and PlanetLab enable the same statistical multiplexing efficiency gains for computing as the Internet provides for networking. One major challen...

Abstract. Modern distributed computing demands unprecedented levels of dynamicity and reconfiguration. Mobile computing, peer-to-peer networks, computational grids, multiagent sys...
Optimistically Terminating Consensus (OTC) is a variant of Consensus that decides if all correct processes propose the same value. It is surprisingly easy to implement: processes ...
Wide-area distributed systems like computational grids are emergent infrastructures for high-performance parallel applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms have to ...
