Using a cluster of commodity Alpha processors we compare two software platforms based on Linux and Windows NT and intended to support intensive scientic computations. Networking a...
—Collecting information about user activity in peer-to-peer systems is a key but challenging task. We describe here a distributed platform for doing so on the eDonkey network, re...
Data reliability of distributed brick storage systems critically depends on the replica placement policy, and the two governing forces are repair speed and sensitivity to multiple...
Boolean Equation Systems (BESs) allow to represent various problems encountered in the area of propositional logic programming and verification of concurrent systems. Several seq...
Two novel suboptimal algorithms for mutual exclusion in distributed systems are presented. One is based on the modi cation of Maekawa's grid based quorum scheme. The size of ...
