Desktop grid (DG) systems use the idle computing power of many volunteered desktop PC’s on the Internet to support large-scale computation and storage. For over a decade, DG sys...
Distributed storage systems apply erasure-tolerant codes to guarantee reliable access to data despite failures of storage resources. While many codes can be mapped to XOR operatio...
Main stream approaches in distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) are essentially logic-based. Little has been reported to explore probabilistic approach in DAI. On the other han...
A major contributing factor to the complexity of creating and evolving distributed systems is the tangling of middleware-specific functionality with core business functionality in...
In this paper we analyze the I/O access patterns of a widely-used biological sequence search tool and implement two variations that employ parallel-I/O for data access based on PV...
