Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems share and manage huge amounts of data and resources distributed across a large number of machines. In pure P2P environments the control is totally decent...
We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...
Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
The distributed partitioning of autonomous, self-aware nodes into cooperative groups, within which scarce resources could be effectively shared for the benefit of the group, is ...
-Recently multicast routing protocols in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are emerging for wireless group communication. This includes application such as multipoint data disseminat...
