A new methodology is presented in this paper for resource management in a metacomputing environment using a hierarchy of homogeneous agents that has the capability of service disco...
New file systems are critical to obtain good I/O performance on large multiprocessors. Several researchers have suggested the use of collective file-system operations, in which ...
In this paper, we present a system capable of improving the I/O performance in an automatic way. This system is able to learn the behavior of the applications running on top and ...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are currently used in a variety of applications. File sharing applications and ad hoc networking have fueled the usage of these systems. P2P systems gen...
Voluntary Computing systems or Desktop Grids (DGs) enable sharing of commodity computing resources across the globe and have gained tremendous popularity among scientific research...
