This paper identifies node affinity as an important property for scalable general-purpose locks. Nonuniform communication architectures (NUCAs), for example CCNUMAs built from a f...
Abstract. We present a new method for proving liveness and termination properties for fair concurrent programs, which does not rely on finding a ranking function or on computing th...

Abstract—A probabilistic analytical framework for decentralized load balancing (LB) strategies for heterogeneous distributed-computing systems (DCSs) is presented with the overal...
Abstract— We consider the problem of providing QoS guarantees to Grid users through advance reservation of resources. Advance reservation mechanisms provide the ability to alloca...
