We present TOTA (“Tuples On The Air”), a novel middleware for supporting adaptive context-aware activities in dynamic network scenarios. The key idea in TOTA is to rely on spa...
Conventional autotuning configuration of parameters in distributed computing systems using evolutionary strategies increases integrated performance notably, though at the expense ...
Computing aggregates over distributed data sets constitutes an interesting class of distributed queries. Recent advances in peer-to-peer discovery of data sources and query process...
