Clusters of PC containing mostly general purpose hardware have become more and more usable for high performance computing tasks in the past few years. Clustering existing systems ...
Resource management is a central part of a Grid computing system. In a large-scale wide-area system such as the Grid, security is a prime concern. One approach is to be conservati...
This paper presents in detail an efficient and provably correct algorithm for database replication over partitionable networks. Our algorithm avoids the need for end-toend acknow...
This paper addresses the issue of fault-tolerance in applications that make use of network storage. A network abstraction called the Network Storage Stack is presented, along with...
