Recently, a server-less video-on-demand architecture has been proposed which can completely eliminate costly dedicated video servers and yet is highly scalable and reliable. Due to...
We present a novel distributed algorithm for the maximal independent set (MIS) problem.1 On bounded-independence graphs (BIG) our deterministic algorithm finishes in O(log n) time,...
We describe Chromium, a system for manipulating streams of graphics API commands on clusters of workstations. Chromium's stream filters can be arranged to create sort-first a...

Web and peer-to-peer systems have emerged as popular areas in distributed computing, and their integrated usage permits the benefits of both to be exploited. While much work in th...
In this paper we consider the problem of maximising utility in linked market-driven distributed and Grid systems. In such systems, users submit jobs through brokers who can virtua...
