A master/worker paradigm for executing large-scale parallel discrete event simulation programs over networkenabled computational resources is proposed and evaluated. In contrast t...
Grid computing intends to share heterogeneous resources in dynamic service-based environments. This kind of systems has the major advantages of enabling rapid composition of distr...
We propose a new approach to ensure privacy in location based services, without requiring any support from a"trusted" entity. We observe that users of location based ser...
Process/thread migration and checkpointing schemes support load balancing, load sharing and fault tolerance to improve application performance and system resource usage on worksta...
In this paper, we consider a generic model of computational grids, seen as several clusters of homogeneous processors. In such systems, a key issue when designing efficient job al...
