In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
Existing DHT-based file systems use consistent hashing to assign file blocks to random machines. As a result, a user task accessing an entire file or multiple files needs to r...

Abstract. Even though there have been many research works on distributed deadlock detection and recovery mechanisms, the multi-cycle deadlock problems are not extensively studied y...
The exponential distribution is a key distribution in many event-driven Monte-Carlo simulations, where it is used to model the time between random events in the system. This paper...
A helicopter agent has to plan trajectories to track multiple ground targets from the air. The agent has partial information of each target's pose, and must reason about its u...
