—Despite many technology advances, the limited computing power of sensors encumber them from taking part in service-oriented architectures. In recent years, the sensornetworking ...
We consider a distributed server system and ask which policy should be used for assigning tasks to hosts. In our server, tasks are not preemptible. Also, the task's service d...
Total Order Broadcast protocols are important tools to ensure coherence across distributed systems. Contrarily to classical distributed systems, pervasive systems bring important ...
This paper focuses on two problems related to QoS-aware I/O server placement in hierarchical Grid environments. Given a hierarchical network with requests from clients, the network...
This paper explores integrating self-tuning updates and sequential consistency to enable transparent replication of large-scale information dissemination services. We focus our at...
