In large-scale clusters and computational grids, component failures become norms instead of exceptions. Failure occurrence as well as its impact on system performance and operatio...
On-Line Analytical Processing techniques are used for data analysis and decision support systems. The multidimensionality of the underlying data is well represented by multidimens...
Scheduling tasks on large-scale computational grids is difficult due to the heterogeneous computational capabilities of the resources, node unavailability and unreliable network ...
Complexity of near future and even nowadays applications is exponentially increasing. In order to tackle the design of such complex systems, being able to engineer self-organising ...
In a reputation-based trust-management system, agents maintain information about the past behaviour of other agents. This information is used to guide future trust-based decisions...
