Active networks allow computations to be performed innetwork at routers as messages pass through them. Active networks offer unique opportunities to optimize networkcentric applic...
A number of emerging distributed platforms include xed and robust workstations but, like dynamic and pervasive networks, are often built from mobile and resource-constrained device...
Agent-oriented software is promising improvements especially for the design of distributed systems. But currently, there is a substantial gap between the massive number of publica...
— The recent advances of distributed hash tables (DHTs) facilitate the development of highly scalable and robust network applications and services. However, with applications and...
Grid applications must increasingly self-adapt dynamically to changing environments. In most cases, adaptation has been implemented in an ad hoc fashion, on a perapplication basis...
