Reputation systems aggregate mutual feedback of interacting peers into a "reputation" metric for each participant. This is then available to prospective service "req...
Performance evaluation of complex systems is a critical issue and bounds computation provides confidence about service quality, reliability, etc. of such systems. The stochastic ...
The use of Java for parallel programming on clusters relies on the need of efficient communication middleware and high-speed cluster interconnect support. Nevertheless, currently...
As the scale of cluster computing grows, it is becoming hard for long-running applications to complete without facing failures on large-scale clusters. To address this issue, chec...
There is a class of sparse matrix computations, such as direct solvers of systems of linear equations, that change the fill-in (nonzero entries) of the coefficient matrix, and invo...
