Grid computing is a form of distributed computing that involves coordinating and sharing computing, application, data storage or network resources across dynamic and geographicall...
This paper presents specialized code generation techniques and runtime optimizations for developing light-weight XML Web services for embedded devices. The optimizations are imple...
We propose a new approach for constructing P2P networks based on a dynamic decomposition of a continuous space into cells corresponding to servers. We demonstrate the power of thi...
The objective of query optimizers is to select a good execution plan for a given query. In a distributed system, it is crucial for a query optimizer to have effective remote cost e...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
