Adaptation of system parameters is acknowledged as a requirement to scalable and dependable distributed systems. Unfortunately, adaptation cannot be effective when provided solely...
Modern distributed systems that have to avoid performance degradation and system overload require several runtime management decisions for load balancing and load sharing, overloa...
In an open distributed system, computational resources are peer-owned, and distributed over time and space. The fact that these resources can dynamically join or leave the system (...
Exploiting locality at run-time is a complementary approach to a compiler approach for those applications with dynamic memory access patterns. This paper proposes a memory-layout ...
