We present the tool Sycraft (SYmboliC synthesizeR and Adder of Fault-Tolerance). In Sycraft, a distributed fault-intolerant program is specified in terms of a set of processes and ...
This paper focuses on load management in looselycoupled federated distributed systems. We present a distributed mechanism for moving load between autonomous participants using bil...

This paper presents a theoretical definition for designing EDAs called Elitist Convergent Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (ECEDA), and a practical implementation: the Boltzm...
We describe our work in implementing a wide-area distributed file system for the NSF TeraGrid. The system, called XUFS, allows private distributed name spaces to be created for tr...
A GRASP (greedy randomized adaptive search procedure) is a multi-start metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization. We study the probability distributions of solution time to a su...
