Farsite is a secure, scalable file system that logically functions as a centralized file server but is physically distributed among a set of untrusted computers. Farsite provides ...
The Grid provides infrastructure that allows an arbitrary application to be executed on a range of different computational resources. When input files are very large, or when faul...
Traditionally, distributed Web servers have used two strategies for allocating files on server nodes: full replication and full distribution. While full replication provides a high...
