Abstract. As a developing P2P system, Gnutella has upgraded its protocol to 0.6, which significantly changed the characteristics of its hosts. However, few previous work has given ...
Three protocols for gossip-based failure detection services in large-scale heterogeneous clusters are analyzed and compared. The basic gossip protocol provides a means by which fai...
Chord is a protocol to distribute and retrieve information at large scale. It builds a large but rigid overlay network without taking into account the social nature and the underl...
In a distributed computing system (DCS), we need to allocate a number of modules to different processors for execution. It is desired to maximize the processor synergism in order...
