Three protocols for gossip-based failure detection services in large-scale heterogeneous clusters are analyzed and compared. The basic gossip protocol provides a means by which fai...
Cluster Storage Systems where storage devices are distributed across a large number of nodes are able to reduce the I/O bottleneck problems present in most centralized storage sys...
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed of battery-driven communication entities performing multiple, usually different tasks. In order to complete a given task, all sensor no...
