We introduce the distributed gradient clock synchronization problem. As in traditional distributed clock synchronization, we consider a network of nodes equipped with hardware clo...
Parallel disks provide a cost effective way of speeding up I/Os in applications that work with large amounts of data. The main challenge is to achieve as much parallelism as poss...
Through web service technology, distributed applications can be built in a exible manner, bringing tremendous power to applications on the web. However, this exibility poses sig...
