A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
In an increasingly popular model of software distribution, software is developed in one computing environment and deployed in other environments by transfer over the internet. Ext...
The software architecture of a distributed program can be represented by a hierarchical composition of subsystems, with interacting processes at the leaves of the hierarchy. Compo...

We present a hybrid algorithm for distributed task allocation problem in a cooperative logistics domain. Our approach aims to achieve superior computational performance by combinin...
—We suggest a method of controlling the access to a secure database via quorum systems. A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) every two of which have a nonempty inter...
