In contrast to a large body of theoretical work on computer systems, distributed systems are not idealised constructions, unconstrained by physical world limitations. They must be...
Run-time parallelization is often the only way to execute the code in parallel when data dependence information is incomplete at compile time. This situation is common in many imp...
In a variety of applications, ranging from data integration to distributed query evaluation, there is a need to obtain sets of data items from several sources (peers) and compute ...
Sensor networks are being used for implementation of a large number of applications involving distributed and collaborative computation. Extensive research has focused upon design ...
Traditional routing indices in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are mainly designed for document retrieval applications and maintain aggregated one-dimensional values representing the ...
