Upper bound constraints are often set when complex scientific or business processes are modelled as grid workflow specifications. However, many existing processes such as climate ...
We have created ZapC, a novel system for transparent coordinated checkpoint-restart of distributed network applications on commodity clusters. ZapC provides a thin virtualization ...
We consider the problem of sending messages into the future, commonly known as timed release cryptography. Existing schemes for this task either solve the relative time problem wi...
Despite voluminous previous research on adaptive compression, we found significant challenges when attempting to fully utilize both network bandwidth and CPU. We describe the Fine...
The global deployment of IP multicast has been slow due to the difficulties related to heterogeneity, scalability, manageability, and lack of a robust inter-domain multicast rout...
