—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
In recent years we have witnessed a great interest in large distributed computing platforms, also known as clouds. While these systems offer enormous computing power, they are howe...
Abstract—Latency reduction in distributed interactive applications has been studied intensively. Such applications may have stringent latency requirements and dynamic user groups...
The routing architecture of the original 4.4BSD [3] kernel has been deployed successfully without major design modification for over 15 years. In the unified routing architectur...
We define the "Pulse Synchronization" problem that requires nodes to achieve tight synchronization of regular pulse events, in the settings of distributed computing syste...
