The cooperation of end users can be exploited to boost the performance of high-bandwidth multicast. While intraoverlay cooperation, the mechanism for cooperation within a single o...
This paper studies the way to improve consistency of states in a ball-game typed Distributed Virtual Environment (DVE) with lag, in peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture. That is, we ar...
In a grid computing environment, resources are autonomous, wide-area distributed, and what’s more, they are usually not free. These unique characteristics make scheduling in a s...
In this paper, we consider the problem of allocating and scheduling a collection of independent, equal-sized tasks on heterogeneous star-shaped platforms. We also address the same...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
