Desktop distributed computing allows companies to exploit the idle cycles on pervasive desktop PC systems to increase the available computing power by orders of magnitude (10x - 1...
Peer-to-peer systems provide the opportunity to pool large amounts of distributed resources to enable internetscale applications. However, the participant nodes are highly dynamic...
In this paper we consider the map construction problem in the case of an anonymous, unoriented torus of unknown size. An agent that can move from node to neighbouring node in the ...
In this paper we present a quantitative study of data survival in peer to peer storage systems. We first recall two main redundancy mechanisms: replication and erasure codes, whic...
The growing number of mobile computing devices with diverse characteristics creates a requirement for seamless (device independent) access to computing resources of distributed sy...
