— We are developing a distributed computing system, Virtuoso, which presents virtual machines (VMs) as its fundabstraction to end users. Long-running noninteractive VMs may coexi...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
—Federated computing environments offer requestors the ability to dynamically invoke services offered by collaborating providers in the virtual service network. Without an effici...
Volunteer-based grid computing resources are characteristically volatile and frequently become unavailable due to the autonomy that owners maintain over them. This resource volati...
In desktop grids the use of off-the-shelf shared components makes the use of dedicated resources economically nonviable and increases the complexity of design of efficient storag...
