BLASTn is a ubiquitous tool used for large scale DNA analysis. Detailed profiling tests reveal that the most computationally intensive sections of the BLASTn algorithm are the sc...
—Existing methods of measuring lifetimes in P2P systems usually rely on the so-called Create-Based Method (CBM) [16], which divides a given observation window into two halves and...
Large scale bioinformatics experiments are usually composed by a set of data flows generated by a chain of activities (programs or services) that may be modeled as scientific work...
The dynamics of peer participation, or churn, are an inherent property of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems and critical for design and evaluation. Accurately characterizing churn requir...
Emerging large scale utility computing systems like Grids promise computing and storage to be provided to end users as a utility. System management services deployed in the middle...
