Large-scale distributed systems have dense, complex code-bases that are assumed to perform multiple and inter-dependent tasks while user interaction is present. The way users inte...

Conventional wide-area video surveillance systems use a network of fixed cameras positioned close to locations of interest. We describe an alternative and flexible approach to w...
: A distributed system is scalable if the rate at which it completes its computation and communication tasks does not depend on its size. As an example, the scalability of a peer-t...
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...
Obtaining performance models, like Markov chains and queueing networks, for systems of significant complexity and magnitude is a difficult task that is usually tackled using human...
