Both peer-to-peer and sensor networks have the fundamental characteristics of node churn and failures. Peers in P2P networks are highly dynamic, whereas sensors are not dependable...
Data-sharing scientific communities use storage systems as distributed data stores by replicating content. In such highly replicated environments, a particular dataset can reside ...
Queries are widely used for acquiring data distributed in opportunistically formed mobile networks. However, when queries are executed in such dynamic settings, the returned result...
The Information Power Grid (IPG) concept developed by NASA is aimed to provide a metacomputing platform for large-scale distributed computations, by hiding the intricacies of a hig...
This paper studies the use of highly dynamic networks as infrastructures for persistent storage of data that offer services at specific geographical zones in a decentralized and...
