Abstract--Driven by the need to provision resources on demand, scientists are turning to commercial and research test-bed Cloud computing resources to run their scientific experime...
Abstract. The advent of Grid computing gives enterprises an ever increasing choice of computing options, yet research has so far hardly addressed the problem of mixing the differe...
Distributed aggregation algorithms are important in many present and future computing applications. However, after a decade of research, there are still numerous open questions reg...
Centrality indices are an essential concept in network analysis. For those based on shortest-path distances the computation is at least quadratic in the number of nodes, since it ...
Conflict and disruption are a part of everyday life, yet research in the home largely examines consensus and rituals. In this paper, we use Holmes and Rahe's categorization o...
