In a data intensive Grid system, many data replica schemes and models have been proposed to improve the system response time or data consistency, but little attention has been pai...
Multiple sequence alignment is an important and difficult problem in molecular biology and bioinformatics. In this paper, we propose a partitioning approach that significantly impr...
Supporting high availability by checkpointing and switching to a backup upon failure of a primary has a cost. Trade-off studies help system architects to decide whether higher ava...
Advances in grid computing have recently sparkled the research and development of Grid problem solving environments for complex design. Parallelism in the form of distributed compu...
This paper targets the problem of optimal resource allocation in overlay multicast, which poses both theoretical and practical challenges. Theoretically, resource allocation among...
