Grid computing system is different from conventional distributed computing systems by its focus on large-scale resource sharing, where processors and communication have significan...
Wait-freedom and obstruction-freedom have received a lot of attention in the literature. These are symmetric progress conditions in the sense that they consider all processes as b...
Though shared virtual memory (SVM) systems promise low cost solutions for high performance computing, they suffer from long memory latencies. These latencies are usually caused by...
This paper presents a conceptual framework for understanding knowledge integration in distributed networks of practice. The framework builds upon Grant’s knowledge-based theory ...
Object-orientation and distributed systems are quickly becoming norms for new system development, generating renewed interest in distribution schemes traditionally directed at rela...
