—In this paper, we propose the volume between two surfaces normalized by the surface area (interpreted as average distance between two surfaces) as an invariant quantitative meas...
Replication on multiple nodes is an effective way to improve the availability in the P2P or grid environment. It is difficult to determine how many replicas can fulfill the user r...
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...
Many large scale systems, like grids and structured peer to peer systems, operate on a constrained topology. Since underlying networks do not expose the real topology to the appli...
