In mobile computing environments, as a result of the reduced capacity of local storage, it is commonly not feasible to replicate entire datasets on each mobile unit. In addition, ...
Distributed systems are inherently complex, and therefore difficult to design and develop. Experience shows that new technologies—such as components, aspects, and application f...
The Grid is realizing the vision of providing computation as utility: computation jobs can be scheduled on-demand in Grid hosts based on available computation capacity. In this pa...
Widespread adaptation of shared memory programming for High Performance Computing has been inhibited by a lack of standardization and the resulting portability problems between pl...
In this paper we investigate dependability issues of nextgeneration distributed multimedia applications. Examples of such applications are autonomous vehicle control, telemedicine...
