A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
According to the special features of the dynamic heterogeneous grid environment, a loose-coupled and scalable resource model is described by a hybrid multi-level tree reflecting a...
In a distributed system where scalability is an issue, like in a GRID [5], the problem of enforcing mutual exclusion often arises in a soft form: the infrequent failure of the mut...
In this thesis, we describe a genetic algorithm for optimizing the superpeer structure of semantic peer to peer networks. Peer to peer, also called P2P, networks enable us to sear...
