This paper proposes a new method for programming and controlling distributed tasks. Applications declare behavior patterns that are used to automatically predict and reserve resou...
This paper proposes LTNC, a new recoding algorithm to build low complexity network codes. At the core of LTNC is a decentralized version of LT codes that allows the use of fast be...
Web Services are becoming more and more fundamental building blocks of Web-based distributed applications and a core technology for Grid systems. Due to their flexibility, Web Ser...
