The decomposition of large systems into parts is a general principle of software design. Even more, in the scope of distributed systems a partition of the whole system into distri...
Very large size Peer-to-Peer systems are often required to implement efficient and scalable services, but usually they can be built only by assembling resources contributed by ma...
To improve the whole dependability of large-scale cluster systems, an online fault detection mechanism is proposed in this paper. This mechanism can detect the fault in time befor...
This paper describes a new protocol for authentication in Peer-to-Peer systems. The protocol has been designed to meet specialized requirements of P2P systems, such as lack of dir...
