Volunteer Computing (VC) is a paradigm that takes advantage of idle cycles from computing resources donated by volunteers and connected through the Internet to compute large-scale...
Scheduling divisible loads in distributed systems is the subject of Divisible Load Theory (DLT). In this paper we show that coalitional game theory is a natural fit for modeling ...
This article presents a distributed agent-based architecture that can process the visual information obtained by stereoscopic cameras. The system is embedded within a global projec...
With the emergence of grid computing environment, performance measurement, analysis and prediction of non-dedicated distributed systems have become increasingly important. In this...
The recent success of Internet-based computing projects, coupled with rapid developments in peer-to-peer systems, has stimulated interest in the notion of harvesting idle cycles u...
