Large distributed Grid systems pose new challenges in job scheduling due to complex workload characteristics and system characteristics. Due to the numerous parameters that must b...
Ontologies provide a means of modelling and representing a knowledge domain. Such representation, already used in purpose-built distributed information systems, can also be of gre...

This paper addresses the problem of fine-grained data replication in large distributed systems, such as the Internet, so as to minimize the user access delays. With fine-grained d...
The literature on programming sensor networks has focused so far on g higher-level abstractions for expressing local node behavior. Kairos is a natural next step in sensor network ...
