Distributed applications or workflows need to access and use compute, storage and network resources simultaneously or chronologically coordinated respectively. Examples are distri...
Deploying Grid technologies by distributing an application over several machines has been widely used for scientific simulations, which have large requirements for computational r...
There has been a lot of work on localization for sensor networks. Most localization schemes assume an already deployed network. Very little research has been done for active senso...
Desktop grid (DG) systems use the idle computing power of many volunteered desktop PC’s on the Internet to support large-scale computation and storage. For over a decade, DG sys...
Rational and selfish nodes in P2P systems usually lack effective incentives to cooperate, contributing to the increase of free-riders, and degrading the system performance. Variou...
